SYNOPSIS:
The firefighters of Hong Kong’s Pillar Point division are expecting a quiet night to see of their retiring Chief. They find their faith in each other stretched to the limits when a small fire at a liquor warehouse threatens to plunge the whole of Hong Kong into darkness if it spreads to a nearby power plant. Politics, rivalry and suspicion all come into play when dubious decisions are made, warnings are ignored and colleagues start to fall. Can the Pillar Point brotherhood survive the night, if not the fire, with their trust in each other intact? Starring Nicolas Tse, Shawn Yue, Simon Yam and Hu Jun.
