Paradox

Inspector Lee Chung-chi receives devastating news about the sudden disappearance of his 16-year-old daughter, Lee Wing-chi, while she is on vacation in Pattaya. This troubling news shakes him to the core and prompts him to take immediate action.

In a state of urgency and desperation, Lee travels to Thailand to search for Wing-chi. Upon his arrival, he seeks assistance from local detectives, including Chui Kit and his partner Tak, as they begin to piece together clues regarding his daughter's whereabouts.

As Lee delves deeper into the investigation, he discovers connections between his daughter's kidnapping and a mayoral candidate's need for a heart transplant. This revelation raises suspicions about the candidate's assistant, Cheng Hon-sau, whom Lee believes is involved in the conspiracy.

Overcome by grief, Lee abducts a corrupt officer, Ban, in a desperate attempt to extract information about his daughter's abduction. This reckless act turns him into a fugitive, intensifying the urgency of his search, while Chui becomes his only ally.

Chui and Tak take the initiative to track down a taxi driver who allegedly has dashcam footage of Lee's daughter. However, their efforts are thwarted when Sacha and his gang arrive first, leading to an intense confrontation between the groups.

During the climax of the fight, Tak manages to defeat Sacha, but in a moment of desperation, Sacha throws a nearby child from the building. Tak heroically saves the child but tragically dies in the process, intensifying the stakes for Lee.

In a tense interrogation session, Ban reveals where Wing-chi is being held. As Lee rushes to rescue her, he unexpectedly collides with Cheng's vehicle, which is transporting his daughter, propelling the narrative towards a critical turning point.

Following his revelation to Lee, Ban meets a grim end when he is killed in the hospital. This retribution underlines the depth of corruption surrounding the kidnapping and raises the stakes for Lee and Chui's pursuit of justice.

Amidst the growing chaos, police commissioner Chai learns about deep-rooted corruption and urges Chui to abandon their investigation. Despite the potential dangers, this revelation sparks a fierce conflict between pursuing justice and safeguarding their lives.

With a determination to rescue his daughter, Lee barges into Sacha's hideout, taking on numerous henchmen. Despite injuries that leave him vulnerable, he persists in his mission, showcasing the lengths a father will go for his child.

Chui confronts Commissioner Chai over the deadly orders issued against Lee. This confrontation reveals the rift in law enforcement's loyalty between upholding the law and the illicit activities that plague their work.

In a stirring moment, Chui learns the heartbreaking news of Lee's daughter’s death. This truth casts a shadow over the ongoing battle against Sacha, stirring anguish and relentless rage within Lee, which culminates in a violent showdown.

In the final confrontation, Lee channels his grief and rage towards Sacha, culminating in a brutal struggle. The fight escalates, leading to a gruesome conclusion as Lee's anguish pushes him to commit acts of extraordinary violence.

Overcome by the losses he has endured, Lee makes the tragic decision to end his life. This self-sacrifice echoes the sentiment of a warrior who has fought for a cause bigger than himself, leaving an indelible mark on Chui and all those involved.

In the wake of Lee's sacrifice, Chui's wife is ultimately freed, and she gives birth to a child. Despite the joy of new life, the shadow of Lee’s loss looms heavily over Chui, marking a bittersweet conclusion to a harrowing journey.
