In a tragic turn of events, eighteen months ago, a police raid in Chinatown, London, went horribly wrong, resulting in the loss of lives. Today, the police officers involved in that operation have met their demise. The serial case known as Purple One Five, which included the serial commander, Sergeant Brian Gibson, is now all but extinct, with the exception of Gibson himself.

In Hong Kong, a woman's body is found in a seedy hotel in Wan Chai. Detective Inspector of Police Mandy Lee is tasked with identifying her and finding her killer. Lee discovers that the woman is Andrea Ventress-Gibson, the new wife of Sergeant Brian Gibson, who has gone missing. Lee's investigation takes her to the UK, where she encounters Sergeant Gibson's estranged stepbrother, PC Ed Roberts.

As they delve deeper into the case, Roberts and Lee uncover a cyber-attack on a police database, which is linked to their enquiries. Against orders, Roberts accompanies Lee to London's Chinatown, where they come into direct conflict with the Hong Kong underworld organisation known as Crimson Dragon. Their suspicions are confirmed when they discover that Gibson is involved with Crimson Dragon.

With time running out, Lee and Roberts must work together to uncover Gibson's whereabouts and put an end to Crimson Dragon's activities. Their journey takes them through a web of deceit and danger, as they navigate the complex relationships and alliances within the Hong Kong underworld.

In the end, Lee and Roberts are able to uncover Gibson's location and bring him to justice. Their actions not only save Gibson but also prevent further harm to innocent lives. The case of Purple One Five may be over, but the impact of their actions will continue to be felt for years to come.
