Police inspector Don (Nick Cheung) works with stool pigeons - dangerous informants willing to rat on others for the right price. Don is also wracked with guilt after the near death of his prior stool pigeon Jabber ( Liu Kai-Chi), who is now insane and living out of cardboard boxes.

Don learns that a jewelry heist gang led by a man known named Barbarian (Yi Lu) is back in Hong Kong and setting up for their next score.
