A high-octane Hong Kong action thriller that balances graphic violence and dark consequences with comedic beats and the haunted legacy of past trauma.

An ultraviolent cops vs. gangsters bloodbath leaves casualties on both sides. Twenty years later, surviving team member Madam Fong leads a new squad in pursuit of reckless young anarchists terrorizing Macao.
