Synopsis of the Under Current
The grand charity dinner of Hong Kong's renowned Donghua Foundation is abruptly interrupted by a horrific scene—Yang Tao, the foundation's financial director (Simon Yam), is found hanging lifeless in the backstage lounge, his death ruled suspicious by initial investigations. Before the police can dig deeper, a more shocking truth emerges: 200 million yuan in donations raised that night has vanished without a trace. Ma Yingfeng (Aaron Kwok), a principled lawyer known for his uncompromising stance on anti-corruption cases, is drawn into the fray when he discovers his late client's will is linked to Yang Tao. Meanwhile, Ke Dingbang (Francis Ng), a maverick police chief with a penchant for unorthodox tactics, is tasked with leading the investigation. The two men, whose methods and personalities clash fiercely, are forced to join forces as they uncover a sprawling criminal network beneath the foundation's charitable veneer—judicial bribery, contracted assassinations, cross-border drug smuggling, and collusion with overseas dark forces. Every clue points to the foundation being a front for money laundering, turning the public's goodwill into a cash cow for evil. As they get closer to the mastermind, Ma and Ke find themselves targeted by deadly threats, and even their closest allies begin to show signs of betrayal. The question isn't just who killed Yang Tao, but whether they can pierce through the layers of corruption and expose the full truth before the dark forces silence them forever.
