After marrying and having children, Dong Dong (Anita Mui) leads a life of being a devoted wife and mother, but the world is not at peace. Following a nuclear explosion, the world faces a water crisis, yet a mysterious purification company controls clean water and profits immensely, even choking the lifeline of society. At this moment, a man named Chang Kong (Takeshi Kaneshiro) is thrust into the spotlight, becoming the leader of the anti-government forces behind the scenes. However, soon after, Chang Kong is killed, and the assassin frames Dong Dong's husband (Liu Songren), who is also the police chief at the time. The chief is subsequently murdered, and Dong Dong is arrested, providing a chance for the military commander to stage a coup. Chen San (Michelle Yeoh) rescues the president, while Chen Qi (Maggie Cheung), at Dong Dong's request, takes Dong Dong's daughter to find a clean water source, and Dong Dong finally regains her resolve to become a female hero again. What conspiracy lies behind this sudden disaster? Can these three female heroes bring a glimmer of hope to this dark world?
