Chasing the Undercurrent: A Non-Spoiler Review In the backdrop of this part melodrama, part police procedural a determined and well-regarded young detective, Chang Zheng (Johnny Huang) has been on the trail of the notorious Zhao family cartel (founded on mining) more or less since the start of his career. That family’s grip on the city of his birth for three decades is deeply entrenched and woe to those who dig too deep for secrets. Three years earlier his father, also a cop, in his pursuit of evidence against the local juggernaut, dies under dubious circumstances. Consequently Chang Zheng has made it his life’s mission to see justice done and extricate the city from the corrupting influence of the Zhao machinery on all levers of power. Going against the family not only demands a spine of steel but also an unwavering moral compass that can withstand the onslaught of threats and temptations to look the other way.
