"Truth is never clean."
Ouyang Wai-yip (played by Louis Koo) is a seemingly ordinary private detective. But during a routine surveillance job, he’s thrown headfirst into a horrific murder case — a young woman brutally slain, her neck lined with grotesque wounds. Yet this is only the beginning.
A mysterious car crash on a stormy night. Innocent women driven to suicide. A bride-to-be poisoned just before her wedding. One by one, these seemingly unrelated tragedies begin to reveal chilling patterns — all pointing to a tangled web of revenge, past sins, and love turned sour.
Set against the eerie backdrop of Malaysia, Behind the Shadows pulls you into a story where every affection hides a motive, and every truth comes soaked in blood. With tense pacing and sharp visuals, directors Jonathan Li and Chow Man-yu deliver a gripping noir tale under the masterful production of Soi Cheang.
Louis Koo commands the screen as a man teetering between reason and obsession, supported by powerhouse performances from Chrissie Chau and Liu Kuan Ting. This is not just a whodunit — it’s a descent into the emotional wreckage we leave behind.
💡 When love curdles into violence, when faith is just a mask — who do you trust in a world where every touch could be a trap?
