SYNOPSIS:
The assassination of Triad kingpin Kwun in 1991 unleashes a power struggle
among other Triad bosses. While they are all geared up to make the first move should the Kwun's family collapse into chaos,
Sam (Eric Tsang) remains the only loyalist. Meanwhile, the police under the command of Inspectors Wong (Anthony Wong) and
SP Luk (Hu Jun) have been placed on the highest alert. A bloodbath is bounded to take place.
To everybody's surprise, the ultimate winner in this scramble is a most
unlikely candidate: Kwun's son Hau. An accountant in training, Hau has concealed his cunning ruthlessness under an almost
self-effacing facade. Almost effortlessly, he manages to restrain all the other Triad bosses to become the new kingpin.
To watch over Hau's every step, Wong sends rookie Yan (Shawn Yue; adult
character played by Tony Leung in Infernal Affairs) as a mole to infiltrate into his organization. It turns out that Yan is
actually Hau's half-brother who has severed all ties with his father. Inside Hau's organization, Yan befriends Keung (Chapman
To), one of Sam's underlings. Meanwhile, in order to strengthen his position, Sam has sent a young subordinate Ming (Edison
Chen; adult character played by Andy Lau in Infernal Affairs) to enroll in the police cadet academy...
