Synopsis by Mark Deming

A policeman begins seeing the spirits of the dead after a near-fatal attack in this thriller from director Kelvin Tong. Lee (Shawn Yue) and Wong (Ekin Cheng) are a pair of cops working the beat in Hong Kong who pull over a man during a routine traffic stop one night. The situation takes an ugly turn and Lee is violently attacked while the lawman sees what he's certain is the ghost of a woman, stained with blood. Seven weeks later, Lee is released from the hospital and goes back to work, but since he continues to insist he saw a ghost, Lee is transferred from a patrol car to a mysterious branch known as the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, led by Mr. Wong, a man with no belief in the paranormal. While sorting through cases with Miscellaneous Affairs, Lee once again sees a spirit as he visits a swimming pool where a young boy drowned, and is visited by the ghost of the child. Daiyat Gye (aka Rule #1) also stars Fiona Xie and Stephanie Che.
