In Shanghai's suffocating heatwave an ex-con is forced back into a deadly heist that will either quench the city's rage or set it ablaze.
Synopsis
A record-shattering heatwave turns Shanghai into a pressure cooker. Former getaway driver Han Lei is dragged from his quiet life by a ruthless crew promising one last score: hijacking a corrupt tycoon's ice shipment worth millions. As temperatures climb past 45°C, old grudges ignite and the city riots. Han must decide whether to finish the job or burn the whole operation down before everything melts.
The story
Han Lei lives off-grid until his old partner reappears with an offer he can't refuse, pulling him into a crew planning the heist of a lifetime during the worst heatwave on record.
Double-crosses multiply as the mercury rises, alliances fracture, and Han is hunted by both cops and the tycoon's private army through steaming streets and collapsing infrastructure.
In a final inferno at the docks Han chooses redemption over revenge, sacrificing the score to expose the tycoon and cool the city before it burns itself to the ground.

Cold open
INT. SHANGHAI ALLEY - NIGHT A single streetlight flickers. Sweat drips from HAN LEI’s jaw as he leans against a steaming wall, engine idling nearby. The air shimmers. A car screeches to a stop. GHOST steps out, wiping his brow. GHOST They’re selling ice at triple price. City’s ready to explode. Han doesn’t move. HAN I told you I’m done. Ghost tosses him keys. A distant siren wails. Han catches them. The temperature gauge on the car reads 47°C. GHOST One last ride. Before everything melts.
