Yang Zheng, a taciturn young man with gloomy eyes, works as a cook in a dilapidated tea restaurant in Yau Ma Tei. No one knows that he was once the youngest talented chef in a Michelin three-star restaurant, and no one knows that he was forced to leave the kitchen three years ago due to a mysterious case of food poisoning and has been anonymous ever since.
His golden finger is a mysterious kitchen knife - "Soul Eater" that he bought from the antique market. This knife can sense the "memory" of ingredients, allowing him to gain insight into the ins and outs of each ingredient when cutting and pairing, and can even capture the deepest desires and fears of diners.
When serial murders began to cover Hong Kong Island, and the victims were all top chefs without exception, and their deaths were all related to some extreme cooking techniques, Yang Zheng discovered that the murderer was using his cooking skills to engage in a perverted murderous competition. And he himself was involved in this cooking showdown where his life was at stake.
In order to survive, to get revenge, and to uncover the truth about how he was framed three years ago, Yang Zheng must pick up the kitchen knife again and fight his way through the underground food world of Hong Kong Island where black and white, gang bosses, and gourmet tycoons are intertwined. This is the ultimate cooking battle involving dignity, life, death and justice.
