Hong Kong, 1985. Currents of trouble run beneath the surface.
Police officer Zhao Feng refuses to go along with the tide or join in the corruption, and disaster strikes him as a result.
When he wakes from his coma, his soul has changed, and his nature is no longer what it was.
The people around him are hard to read, and threats come from all sides. Those who truly treat him kindly are few and far between.
Danger lurks everywhere, and every step is strewn with thorns.
In this life, he keeps his sharp edges hidden, patiently lays his plans,
and rises against the odds, rebuilding his life amid tangled relationships and a perilous world.
