Spoilers ahead
Chow Sing-sing is on the verge of being disqualified from the Royal Hong Kong Police’s elite Special Duties Unit after a training drill reveals his complete disregard for his teammates. A senior officer, Wong Sir, who has grown fond of Sing’s youthful energy, decides to use him in undercover work instead—posing as a student at the Edinburgh College to recover a stolen revolver. The mission pairs him with Tat, an aging, often bumbling detective who is listed on files as Sing’s legal guardian, which only adds to the tension of their uneasy partnership. Sing, who joined the Police Academy because he dislikes formal schooling, struggles to keep up academically and on just his third day is nearly expelled for cheating on a Chinese history test.
