En 2005, Daniel Wu et ses trois compères Conroy Chan, Andrew Lin, Terence Yin fondent le Boys Band Alive. The Heavenly Kings raconte l'histoire de ce groupe sans réel talent (autre que de belles gueules et une belle amitié...) et brosse le portrait de l'industrie de la pop cantonaise. Les stars s'expriment: Jacky Cheung, Karen Mok, Nicholas Tse ou encore Candy Lo. Personne ne comprend leur motivation de se lancer dans un tel défi. Absurde parfois, drôle toujours, The Heavenly Kings est la preuve que le karaoké peut nuire à la santé.

A film crew travels to a remote island to shoot a music video. The island is inhabited by some villagers and an eccentric police inspector. Paranormal events occur during their stay: eerie screams are heard at night but the villagers dismiss them as wolves' howling; a strange young man is seen wandering around, asking whether they had seen someone called Ying. In addition, while shooting a scene in the water, the actresses felt something tickling their feet. An old woman narrates a tragic story about a pair of lovers from the village who were separated from each other because the woman's father opposed the relationship — the man was burnt to death while the woman drowned herself at sea. A mysterious feral child is revealed to be the one responsible for making the screams, and the old woman recognises him as the lovers' long-lost son. A ritual is performed to put the lovers' spirits to rest and their son is adopted by the villagers.
