Set in 1990s Kowloon Walled City.. Chusan inherits his grandfather's tenement unit inside the Walled City, he sees it as the perfect place to write Dead City.. a documentary book commissioned by one of his clients. While Chusan believes he is simply documenting life inside the Walled City, his writing is quietly being turned into a weapon.. one that exposes the crime, poverty, and darkness hidden within its walls. A weapon that could help push the government toward demolishing the very place thousands call home. Living under the same roof is Liu Yi, the feared triad leader who has spent years protecting the compound and the people within it. To the government, Kowloon Walled City is a problem.. a lawless slum. To Liu Yi, it is home.. a place worth protecting at all costs. What if love wasn't born in life.. but in a place already dying?
