Synopsis

When a roving TV news unit live broadcasts the embarrassing defeat of a police battalion by five bank robbers in a ballistic showdown, the credibility of the police force plummets.

Coincidentally while on a separate investigation in a dilapidated building, a detective, Inspector Cheung (Nick Cheung) discovers the hideout of the robbers. Cheung and his men, having entered the building, are preparing to strike and take their foes out any minute.

However, in an attempt to beat the media at its own game, Inspector Rebecca Fong (Kelly Chen) decides to turn the stakeout into a breaking news show.
