Synopsis

Chi Yi is a veteran cop, who values his own safety more than anything else and is therefore infamous for his cowardice at work. Yi Ping, on the other hand, is just graduated from the police academy and is more than ready to prove herself regardless of any risks. Starting from a seemingly pointless case, the essentially incompatible pair unexpectedly digs up the clues to a series of mysterious deaths.
