Introduction

Richie Ren is Yuan, a cool Mainland professional thief who sets the Hong Kong streets on fire. On Yuan's tail is Inspector Cheung (Nick Cheung),however the cops' stakeout goes bust, leading to a firefight and finally a media-covered sequence of an average beat cop actually raising his hands and surrendering to Yuan and his three comrades. The public display of cop cowardice sets the public against the cops, a sentiment furthered by the fact that Yuan and his gang gets away. The Royal Hong Kong Police Force have likely never had a poorer Q-rating.

Enter Inspector Rebecca Fong (Kelly Chen), who suggests to her superior officers that the cops need to regain face by putting on a "big show". That show will include unprecedented media access to the apprehending of Yuan's gang—once they catch up with them. Fong has her crew scouring the streets for info, which leads them to Yuan's apartment building hideout at nearly the same time as Cheung and his team, who disobey orders by staying on the case and invading the building. Once Fong gets wind that the planned primetime bust is going down, she assembles the cops and media for her big show, and begins to orchestrate events to make the cops seem like the heroes they're supposed to be. Meanwhile, Yuan catches on to the media manipulation, and starts finding ways to debunk the cops' media spinning.
