Storyline

In 1990s Hong Kong, three down-and-out individuals find their fates intertwined by a heist. Security guard Tong Yuet-ling urgently needs money for her father's heart transplant; her colleague Lee Kwok-wing has lost his savings to a scam and faces unemployment; and neighbour Sang Kwan, who works for the gangster Gau Man-lung, is being hunted by the triads after losing their money. Desperate, Tong and Sang plot to rob the gang, but their attempt fails and they are caught on dashcam by Lee. Lee proposes they team up to rob an armoured truck during the Tai Hang fire dragon dance festival, and the three reluctantly agree. On the night of the heist, the situation spirals out of control as the pursuing triads, a heavily armed South Asian gang, and the trio converge. The three manage to subdue the gang and save the cash, which is later destroyed in the chaos but fully insured. Their bravery earns them rewards that solve their problems, and they each find a new path.
