A noir-tinged crime thriller about desperation and temptation, where a get-rich-quick scheme among struggling friends spirals into moral compromise and betrayal.

Life has not been kind to drinking buddies Sam, Fai, and Mok as they struggle to make ends meet, until one stormy evening when a mysterious old man appears before them in a bar with a 'get rich quick' scheme: an ancient treasure buried under a high-security government building.
