In Hong Kong, Chow Yun-Fat is Ko Chow, an undercover cop squeezed from every side as he infiltrates a gang of jewel thieves. Inspector Lau (Sun Yueh) pushes him deeper into the case, other officers chase him without knowing he’s one of their own, and Ko’s girlfriend is ready to leave unless he chooses a life beyond the job. As the thieves become his friends, Ko starts to question the work that asks him to deceive them and wonders whether staying on the force is worth what it costs.
