Synopsis and Plot Summary

A story about three individuals - Communist operative Zhong Tiehan, Kuomintang agent Wu Renfu and Japanese soldier Tsuguchi Seizo who were once as close as brothers in their youths. However, their paths begin to diverge as they came to have their own ideals to uphold.

In 1945, Zhong Tiehan (Yang Shuo) and Xu Xiaoyue (Zhang Meng) receive orders to travel to Hong Kong to rescue a British agent named White who has been captured by the Japanese army. At this time, Wu Renfu (Xu Zhengxi) and Tsuguchi Seizo (Chen Long) are also on White's trail due to the important military information that he holds.
