While investigating a tanker explosion case, news reporter Hau Man-wan (David Siu) suspects it as scheme for Au Chi-ho's (Kenneth Tsang) consortium to deceive insurance money. Man-wan uses his relationship with Au's daughter, Man-ching (Frances Lau), to get close to Au, hoping to find out the truth.

At this time, Man-wan's good friend, police inspector Tse Kwok-tung (Donnie Yen), whose girlfriend, Candy, was recently murdered, suspects the culprit behind this case to be Au's underling, Lee Long (Francis Ng). Kwok-tung decides to closely investigate this with his old partner, sergeant Lee Fan (Ng Man-tat). However, Kwok-tung was framed while investigating and was transferred to another department, with female inspector Hung Wai-ling (Kitty Lai) takes over his duties. Wai-ling is Man-wan's girlfriend who opposes her boyfriend to investigate Au, while also prevents Fan from helping Kwok-tung. As a result, Fan is highly dissatisfied with his new superior and often gets into conflicts with her, giving little development the investigation. Later, Wan-wan decides to put his life at risk and go undercover into Au's organization in order to find out the truth, hoping to assist Kwok-tung and Fan on the investigation.
