Synopsis and Plot Summary

The peace in the country depends on distant guardians. Somewhere the citizens cannot see are public servants who put their lives on the line for the sake of others. The Chinese border police cracks down on the arms trafficking taking place in the Sino-Russian border and fights crime to maintain border security and peace.

An operation to take down a group of men trading illegal firearms has ended in just seven minutes. Several gunmen were killed and their leadeer Xu Zhihai (Meng Asai) was captured. The mission was completed swiftly but police bureau chief Li Jian (Ren Shuai) remains anxious because of the major gun-related cases occurring along the borders.

Under Li Jian's orders, investigator Zhang Meng (Li Yanan) enters prison undercover to dig up clues from Xu Zhihai. Zhang Meng eventually wins the trust of Xu Zhihai but fails to gain any information about the gun smuggling. By chance, Xu Zhihai manages to escape prison while Zhang Meng doesn't hesitate to follow him. Xu Zhihai is shot by police officers while on the run and before his death, he instructs Zhang Meng to go to Russia to find his older brother Xu Zhiqiang (Su Ke).
