Set in Shanghai in the early 1940s, the film centers on the efforts of underground members of the Communist Party of China to send confidential files to protect the country.

The theme song's lyrics were written by director Cheng as an ode to the sacrifices of many unsung heroes. Cheng also spoke highly of Wang and Leung's acting prowess in the film.
