乔立夫、邵苗苗、钟晴三人到深圳干活,无疑像其他外省劳工一样,开始寻金的梦想。程志刚是深圳某公安分局的大队长,他推荐乔出任深圳警察学校的武术教练。四人于繁华的深圳市内彼此认识并相爱,开始时,相互之间都是单纯和纯朴,但纸醉金迷的都市,令四人的生活开始变质,彼此都陷入了花花绿绿的世界,最终,引发了一场弥天大祸,以致生死分离。Vigorous ambition for wealth and material possession plague the lives of many who step off the train from various provinces in China to the newly industrialized city of Shenzhen. Three characters in this story clearly illustrate this point.
