Chan, an articulate senior detective nearing the end of his career, is taking care of the daughter of a witness killed by ruthless crime lord Po. Martial arts expert Ma is set to take over as head of the crime unit, replacing Chan who wants an early retirement.
Wilson Yip's dynamic crime thriller follows an aging cop (Simon Yam) so determined to take down the brutal gangster (Sammo Hung) responsible for the death of his god daughter that he resorts to ethically dubious tactics. His plans are complicated by his failing health, the sudden death of an undercover agent, and the arrival of an uptight, painfully honest new detective (Donnie Yen).
Het is 1997 en Hong Kong staat op het punt overgedragen te worden aan China. Inspecteur Ma moet Chan vervangen als leider in de zaak tegen de maffiabaas Wong Po. Chan heeft slechts drie dagen om Ma klaar te stomen voor de taak.
