The only witness James (Mark Wu), nervous and terrified, denies witnessing the accident, and seems to withhold the truth.
  Veteran undercover cop D. Dragon (Ronald Cheng) and James are old time buddies; with an intention to take advantage of their relationship, Dragon proposes to his superior Sol (Peter So) to investigate this suspected substitute case.
