It stars Louis Koo, Simon Yam and Sun Honglei as a group of friends who uncover a hidden treasure that quickly draws attention among others. The films tagline is Temptation. Jealousy. Destiny. Each word is often associated with the segments that appear in chronological order.

Fei wants his friend to drive a robbery getaway car but Sam backs out, throwing Fei in trouble with the triads. As the three are arguing, a mysterious man leaves them a map, leading them to an unlikely treasure under the Legislative Council building. All their financial woes seem to be solved after a latenight heist, but they are being tracked by shady cop Wen Lam KaTung, who is carrying on an affair with Sams emotionally unstable wife, Ling Kelly Lin, and has connections with Fei. When the twisted relationship tangles come to light, the brotherhood dangerously breaks down and the treasure ends up in the wrong hands.The film was shot entirely in Hong Kong with actors from the city and Mainland China. Each director was solely responsible for one third of the film aboutminute long. They did not discuss their segments with each other, and each director had a different set of writers working on each segment, the most notable being Yau NaiHoi, Au KinYee and Yip TinShing, frequent scriptwriters for Johnnie To and his Milkyway Image films. All of the segments relied on the same editor, cinematographer and music for the sake of uniformity. David M. Richardson served as an editor, Guy Zerafa provided the film score and Cheng SiuKeung served as cinematographer. All three worked on Tos 2006 film Exiled. ........
