In Hong Kong, former police inspector Bun (Ching-Wan Lau) comes out of retirement to help a rookie detective untangle a murder case tied to a missing colleague.

Their search keeps circling back to a fellow policeman whose shifting personalities may hold the key to the crime, pushing the investigation into a maze of competing selves, unreliable perceptions, and blurred lines between instinct and delusion.
