Synopsis
Manufacturing just fifty grams of meth in China will earn you a death sentence, and Timmy Choi has manufactured tons of it. After a violent lab accident, he's in the custody of Captain Zhang, and now he has only one chance to avoid execution: turn informant and help Zhang's undercover team take down the powerful cartel he's been cooking for. But as the uneasy allies are forced to compress months of police work into just 72 sleepless hours, the increasingly desperate police are quickly stretched past their limits. As things spin wildly out of control, the line between duty and recklessness is blurred, and it becomes unclear whether the cop or the criminal truly has the upper hand.
