In 2010, Cheuk Hoi (Michael Miu) secretly travels to Bangkok to conduct a drug operation with his undercover agents in Thailand. However the success of the mission had cost all of Cheuk Hoi's undercover agents to be killed in a sea of fire. Meanwhile back in Hong Kong, his good friend CIB Inspector Lai (Eddie Cheung), is killed for unknown reasons, leaving Cheuk Hoi to take charge of a female amateur cop who is not yet officially an undercover. Cheuk Hoi knows that Lai Sir still has undercover agents whose identities have been deleted.
