Lok Man-wah (Simon Yam), an undercover cop, sets up a sting for a notorious drug lord and Man-wah's friend Luk Chan-fung (Yu Rongguang). Luk manages to escape but falls victim to a car bomb planted in his getaway vehicle. Following the funeral, Man-wah begins to put the moves on Luk's ex-girlfriend Yung (Christy Chung), even though he is already involved with June (Eileen Tung), another woman. Later it is revealed that Luk is not dead and insists on Man-wah help him in a kidnapping scheme, thus beginning an elaborate revenge scheme that costs June her life and Lok his career.
