After the hot-tempered police detective Fei messes up yet another operation, he is transferred to a fictional department that houses all the useless staff the force couldn’t sack. There he finds a new enemy in the mild-mannered desk officer Johnny, who loathes Fei’s disregard for discipline. But when Fei’s father and Johnny’s mother coincidentally become an item, the new brothers must somehow learn to cohabit under the same roof.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jordan Chan originally rose to fame in Young and Dangerous films—this later-career buddy cop gig was basically his action-comedy retirement party.
The 'useless department' trope pays homage to 1980s-90s Golden Age HK cinema, when even throwaway comedies got theatrical releases—streaming would've buried this instantly today.
