The story, set in a fictional Southeast Asian country, revolves around Zhou Ke (played by Chen Guokun) and his quest for revenge. Zhou Ke was originally a top agent for a professional security company. He was imprisoned for seven years after single-handedly rescuing his brother, Bano (Shi Yanneng), from a gang's hideout. Before going to jail, he hired a crippled assassin to kill the gang leader and revealed that Zhou Ke's wife and children had been killed by a bomb, and he himself was supposed to have died in that explosion.
In prison, Zhou Ke is targeted by enemies, but he uses this as an opportunity to train his boxing skills, marking each year on the wall as he awaits his release to seek revenge. After his release, Zhou Ke sheds his suit, changes his name to Li Fei, and lives as a clown among ordinary people. He befriends a young girl named Xue Ling (Wang Baotong). However, a gang's USB drive accidentally ends up in the girl's bag, leading to her kidnapping and drawing Zhou Ke back into a new conflict.
