A high-octane action-comedy about a scrappy team of young cops bending the rules to take down criminals, balancing explosive set pieces with camaraderie and humor.

Four young officers of the Hong Kong Police are joined together to fight against organised crime using all possible means, even if this would lead them to break the law… Their first assignment is to eliminate a gang of criminals who have stolen a shipload of explosives.
