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.
