What On the Edge Is About

After eight years undercover inside a triad, Sheng finally has the organisation’s leader arrested and returns to his desk as a police officer. But life does not go back to what it was: his colleagues look at him with suspicion, the investigations unit follows him and he has nobody he can trust on either side. When he runs into triad members he befriended while undercover and is asked to work with them again, he is backed into a corner. In Herman Yau’s eighty eight minute Hong Kong film, Nick Cheung plays Sheng and Francis Ng the man opposite him, with Anthony Wong in the cast. It was completed in 2006 and treats the aftermath of undercover work as a heavier matter than the work itself.
