Two people have been discovered under the ice of a frozen lake in the north-east of China, their remains rendered unidentifiable by carnivorous fish but yet exhibiting the mark of having been hauled with an ice hook. Captain Zhou (Tony Leung Ka Fai), a committed cop who is dragging along his adolescent daughter Xinyi, is in charge of the inquiry (Zhou Dongyu). Soon after, he is joined by Wang Hao (Tong Dawei), a young Shanghai investigator who is investigating a missing person case that has taken him to the same area as the killings. The missing individual and the two victims were both members of a quartet of businesspeople who constructed a refinery in the area 10 years ago and disposed of chemical waste in an unethical manner, poisoning the waters and resulting in malformed babies in the following decade. Is the missing businessman the assassin, the next victim, or a ruse?
