A corrupt red oil kingpin enlists the aid of a female police officer to help find his son. John Fok (Eason Chan) is the kingpin of illegal red oil in Greater China. When an oil tanker explodes accidentally, he becomes the focus of investigation by Hong Kong and Mainland Chinese police and is forced to halt his business to wait things out. While his business rivals start closing in, a member of his household is planning to betray him. On the surface, John seems totally helpless, but in reality, he’s been staging a major comeback for months. Just as he is finally ready to turn his fortune around, his only son is kidnapped! Senior Inspector Molline Szeto (starring Sammi Cheng) is the rising star of the Police force. She is praised for bursting crimes with her sangfroid and precision. However, in matters of love, she is totally at wits’ end.

Poised at the cross road of her life, she is thrilled to be assigned to investigate the kidnap of John’s son. John dispatches his whole gang to ferret his son’s whereabouts, only to find out that his rivals are redeploying people in China to assail him. Just when he is about to order an all-out fightback, Molline suddenly arrives with her team to garrison his house. Spurning her at first, he soon finds her critical analysis of situation at hand both apt and useful. An unlikely cooperation between cops and crooks thus ensues, leading to conflicts and clashes galore at every step till the end.
