Plot

Special thanks to Trinh for providing this summary!

Canti Lau and Eddie Kwan were both in the police squad and were good friends. Jimmy was in some organised crime group who robbed banks (I think). To solve this gruesome case, Eddie went undercover. He managed to get close to the group and became part of the team. To convince them of his loyalty, he committed crimes with them. He actually developed a special bond with them and the camaraderie in the group was evident. Some of the upper officials thought Eddie betrayed them and turned to a life of crime.

In one of the robbery, the event was captured on camera. Even though the criminals were all wearing masks and could not be identified, Eddie had an unique way of holding the gun that made him recognisable. Canti was not convinced his friend had turned evil. The upper official told him to capture and arrest Eddie. There was a situation when the crime group committed a robbery, Canti and his squad were onto them. Given the circumstances, Eddie shot Canti to make them believe him. Canti was badly injured but his injury was not life threatening (Eddie didn't shoot him in the vital organs). Eddie had a very accurate shooting technique.

Anyway, to cut a long short, the group found out Eddie was a cop and they turned against each other. Eddie did not want to harm them despite they were criminals because he knew they were decent people (especially Jimmy who helped him a lot). Jimmy had a sister who loved Eddie. So he saw Eddie as a brother. Jimmy's sister was played by Chor Ka Po. She fell off a buliding in the end and Jimmy thought Eddie was responsible and sought revenge. I can't remember exactly how she died but I think she fell off herself when Eddie tried to talk to her. The ending for the 'bad guys' was inevitable ...yes they all died. This really ticked me off because Jimmy was a pretty decent guy! I don't remember anything about the relationship between Canti and Fiona Leung. I remember I rented this series out because of Canti and I ended up liking Eddie and Jimmy more hehee.... I didn't even know Jimmy was in this series.

Well, in case anyone is wondering about the relationship between Canti and Fiona in this series, the following has been provided by Bao Bao, the webmaster of Canti's Castle. Thanks!

It is the story about 3 cops searching who is the big bad guy of the film. I would say, even if this guy is very bad, he loves his mom very much and this is the only thing I appreciate in him. The 3 cops are Canti (good fighter), Eddie Kwan (good gun shooter) and Mrs. Chek (played by Yeung Tak Si - in the film he is very female so people call him "Mrs." He is intelligent).

The leading actresses are Fiona Leung, Yeung Mei Yee, and someone else. Yeung Mei Yee is a teacher in an electronic course. She likes Eddie and so does him. But Eddie hurts her heart. For Mrs. Chek, he loves a girl with children personality. I mean that she is not at all mature and because of that, she always gets angry with Mrs. Chek for trivial stuff. One time, she was so mad at him that she went alone into a bar and got drunk and then she got raped by some bad man.

Now, about Canti. He was coupled with Fiona. At first, Fiona hates him very much. She is a business woman and is very successful, that's why she always think she is the best. From man, she asks for many qualities (seriousness, hardworking, romantic, reasonable, etc...) The first time she saw Canti, he steps on her dress. The 2nd time, he throws up on her ; the 3rd time, he sends her a bomb; the 4th time, he ... No I should stop here. Why did Canti do so many bad things to Fiona? Eventually, they love each other very much and look like the perfect couple. However, Fiona didn't like Canti when he told her that her big boss is the bad man that the cops are looking for. She trusts her boss and hurts Canti's feelings. She even planned to marry the boss until the moment when she discovered that Canti was right, the boss is bad. Unfortunately, the boss found out that she knows the truth and he kidnapped her and imprisoned her in a car where a bomb was installed. He wanted to kill Canti when he would save Fiona. What happens? Of course Canti didn't die, but how about Fiona? Will she survive?
