Lee Rock (Andy Lau), un immigré à peine alphabétisé venu de Chine continentale, survit à Hong Kong, fréquentant autant des membres de triades que des policiers. Il décide de devenir lui-même policier dans le but premier d'acquérir du pouvoir et non pas de servir et protéger. Les pots-de-vin et les dessous de table sont alors monnaie courante dans la police et le fait de rester intègre condamne irrémédiablement un policier à l'isolement et la pauvreté. Lee Rock essaie tant bien que mal de s'en tenir à ses idéaux personnels mais sa droiture lui vaut la dérision de ses collègues et lui fait même perdre sa fiancée Rose (Chingmy Yau). Il finit par se décider à devenir chef de la police pour influer un changement de l'intérieur malgré les obstacles énormes. Son supérieur corrompu (Paul Chun ) cherche à le mettre hors d'état de nuire, et sa nouvelle fiancée, Grace (Sharla Cheung), se trouve être la fille d'un parrain de triade.

The film follows Flavia (Josie Ho), a married high school teacher, who meets a beautiful free-spirited female singer-songwriter named Yip (Tian Yuan) and strikes up a relationship with the younger girl. Flavia is a closeted lesbian because she was brought up in a society where homosexuality was not accepted. When Flavia was a teenager, she fell in love with a girl in her class, but was forced to end the relationship when it was discovered by her parents. Heartbroken, she eventually married a competent and caring businessman after graduating from university. Now in her 30s and married with a child, she meets Yip. Flavia is deeply attracted to Yip's carefree personality and bright spirit, and falls for Yip in the same way she fell for her first love in high school. She slowly dares to break out while worried about the consequences but at the same time, hopeful about finding her true self again.
