Exiled then redeemed, Detective Zhong Fong has been given a second chance. Reinstalled as head of special investigations and with a beautiful baby daughter and loving wife, he counts his blessings every day. Yet a series of events, beginning with the discovery of two aged skeletons beneath a Shanghai building site and culminating with the gruesome bombing of an abortion clinic, threaten to shatter this hard-won idyll. As Fong and his wife drift apart, he retreats into his old, sad, lonely world, unable to come to terms with the murder of his first wife and her unborn child.
