Plot Synopsis
New York City, 1988. Once legendary tomb robbers, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan now sell antiques on the Big Apple's sidewalks. During the Cultural Revolution, the friends were students sent to the Inner Mongolia countryside. There they formed a lifelong friendship after witnessing the death of a fellow student, Ms. Ding Sitian. Back in New York, chased by immigration officers, they are rescued by their former expedition partner Shirley Yang.
In debt, Wang Kaixuan returns to Inner Mongolia to work for a shady mining group. When Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang learn of his plans, they fly back to China to protect their reckless friend. On the way, they learn that the mining group is a religious cult controlled by the mysterious Sister Hong. When Wang Kaixuan locates the tomb, he enters the underground labyrinth with the cult members and their bodyguards. But their presence in the tomb awakens hidden traps, unleashing poisons that transform anyone they touch into undead monsters.
Just as the group faces certain death, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang appear. As Shirley Yang descends, Hu Bayi uses his feng shui techniques to decipher the tomb's structure, leading the survivors to safety. Reunited, the trio must not only find their way to the surface but also stop the cult guru who is hell-bent on uniting the world of the living and the world of the dead.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan must confront their own past when Ding Sitian, the young woman they have both loved for two decades, returns from the afterlife.
