The story is about best buddies Ho Wing Sum, Yau Pong Chiu and Yip Chi Fai, who have a ten-year relationship, which breaks down due to a violation of firefighter's code of conduct during a firefight. Ye Zhihui, who is so calculating that he is willing to step on his brothers in order to get promoted; Ho Wing-sum, who is worried about his future and refuses to take the responsibility, causing Yubangchao to take the blame, and also causing Ye Zhihui to lose his footing and die in an argument; Yubangchao, who is simple and selfish, is willing to be taken to task for the sake of righteousness, and can be disorganized in the scene of rescuing people for the sake of his family. On Christmas Eve 2013, the weather in Hong Kong was unusually hot, and a gas pipeline exploded on Wang Fat Street, causing a five-alarm fire at the power plant connected to it. 80% of the electricity in Hong Kong's Kowloon district suffered a fire. Eighty percent of the electricity in Hong Kong's Kowloon district was paralyzed. In this firefighting, firefighters fight bravely to put out the fire, and Ho Wing-sum and Yau Pong-chiu also bravely face the hidden pain in their hearts in the thick smoke.
"The most terrifying part of the fire is that inside the smoke, you never know where the danger is, you can only hear your own breathing, and a darkness in front of you, like a ghost town, no matter how many people around you with you **** in and out of the darkness in front of you can only face it alone, and at this point in time, what's in your heart? What, you will see." In the thick smoke, He Yongsen saw his betrayal of his brother.
Smoke is a firefighter's real enemy. In the fire, everyone recognizes themselves, and only by overcoming the burden of their inner thoughts can the knots in their hearts be untied. As Ocean said, "We are in and out of the fire scene, the heart will always be wrapped in a thick smoke, thinking that you can walk out, in fact, it is simply not possible, whether to save people or to be rescued, it is the same. The only way is to live with this smoke ****. Even in the face of darkness, one must have faith that the sun will definitely shine in. Only then will we be fearless in the face of any circumstance.
