Synopsis: Nick Cheung's character "Dragon Nine" who is attempting to solve a mystery in the days before the world's two greatest martial artists are slated to fight a duel atop the roof of the Forbidden City. Though this film was made as a Lunar New Year project, which usually signifies a greater emphasis on fast-paced fun than on meticulous artistry, the film is nevertheless visually stunning and maintains a fairly coherent plot, thanks both to the talented cast and crew and to the strong source material. As Dragon Nine investigates, a murder plot is exposed, causing many people to die, knowing too much about the plot. It is revealed that one of the martial artists, Cool Son, was the murderer.
