Plot

In the near future, De Ming is a top law enforcement officer in China. He is a cyborg designed to handle assignments too dangerous for traditional methods and is the first in the TN Research Bureau's "K Series," a line of cybernetic organisms programmed with a sophisticated social conscience.

De Ming is sent to a remote town as part of a covert training operation, under the supervision of the local police captain, Xu Dachun. Xu's mission is to help De Ming integrate into the community undercover while keeping his true identity a secret. De Ming gains the trust of the town residents, particularly Su Mei, a fellow officer who is also the object of the captain's affection.

One of De Ming's cybernetic counterparts, K-88, goes missing after a critical neural meltdown. Xu and De Ming track down the malfunctioning cyborg, leading to a confrontation that leaves Xu injured and De Ming conflicted about his role in human society.

Although the mission is successful, De Ming is haunted by the consequences of his actions. Xu's behavior becomes increasingly erratic after the battle with K-88, a fact De Ming hides from his colleagues and superiors. Su Mei also struggles with her feelings for De Ming, who, as a machine, cannot reciprocate her emotions.

Faced with a group of cyborg assassins seeking revenge for his perceived betrayal, De Ming must reconcile his connection to humanity with the realization that he will never fully be a part of it.
