Synopsis and Plot Summary

A female cop working a desk job gets transferred to a new team that specializes in solving cold cases. However, she is out of luck having to work under an impossible boss.

Diana (Jessica Hsuan) was perfectly happy working in file management and logistics at the police department. By chance, she assists police superintendent Chen Sanyuan (Joyce Tang) and Meng Hansen (Moses Chan) of the SDU unit in cracking a case. As a result, she is deployed by her boss Wei Zhanchao (Benz Hui) to join the investigative team. She then meets a group of police officers with "unique" characteristics.

Under Hansen's leadership, they work on unsolved cases that have been forgotten. Unsatisfied with Diana's performance, Hansen is constantly provoking her and soon discovers that she is afraid of guns due to a prior trauma from being held at gunpoint. Somehow, their antagonistic relationship ignites sparks of a romance. Meanwhile, Diana crosses path Liu Dahua (Him Law), a student whose family was destroyed many years ago, and learns that he has become part of the triad. Driven by guilt, Diana tries to get back on her feet. Will she be able to become the next generation of armed policewomen?
