In Hong Kong, the police have long been untouchable. Police headquarters receives an anonymous call: a police van carrying the force?s most advanced equipment and five highly trained officers has disappeared. The hijackers possess direct knowledge of police procedures and are already several steps ahead. The police must meet a list of demands to ensure the hostages? release, including the delivery of a large ransom. Any delay will cost lives. Rival Deputy Commissioners Sean Lau and Waise Lee fight to take charge of the rescue operation, code name: COLD WAR. Lau wants to negotiate with the hijackers while covertly tracking them to their hideout. Lee is ready for an all-out aggressive attack, no matter the cost. For them, there?s much more at stake than the safety of the hostages. With the current Commissioner stepping down, the seat will become vacant. The outcome of the operation will decide who climbs to the top. Every decision is crucial, and every minute counts. As they execute a carefully planned attack, Lau and Lee know they?ve become pawns in a bigger, more dangerous game
