Synopsis
In the winter of 1941, the Underground Communist Party, "Three Scenes of West Lake," is activated to counter the Imperial Japanese Army's biological warfare initiative, Project Slumber. Chen Kailai, an assistant photographer at Chunguang Photo Studio, sets off for Shanghai for a clandestine rendezvous after witnessing the death of his mentor, Li Musheng, an underground operative codenamed Broken Bridge. En route, he gets acquainted with Jin Bao, a fugitive dance hostess sharing a similar plight. Aboard the train, they encounter Su Men, a special commissioner of the Wang-controlled puppet regime, and are drawn into the regime's infighting.
Arriving in Shanghai, Chen Kailai opens a photo studio with Jin Bao's assistance to await his contact — unaware that Jin Bao is actually an agent, codenamed God of Wealth, under the nationalist military intelligence agency, NBIS. When Shen Kexi, codenamed Su Causeway, finally shows up, Chen hands over his late mentor's belongings to her and participates in underground operations. Witnessing Shen being arrested, Chen assists Zhao Qian, codenamed Leifeng Pagoda, to rescue her successfully.
Determined to become a qualified underground agent, Chen Kailai takes over the codename Broken Bridge. Together with Su Causeway and Leifeng Pagoda, he carries out perilous tasks under the command of their superior codenamed Diana. Finally, Chen Kailai helps Shen Kexi sneak into the lab to steal samples, exposing the Japanese atrocities and preventing a viral disaster. However, along the way, Zhao Qian, Shen Kexi, and Jin Bao are martyred, and Chen Kailai records every moving moment with his camera.
