Dan's father mysteriously disappears so Dan goes to live with his father's best friend, Uncle Mike, and his daughter Jean. Uncle Mike publishes a comic strip called "Max: the Unbeatable Fighter". One day, Dan receives an anonymous birthday present: a comic book which, Dan believes, his father wrote after his disappearance. Though most people think Dan's father is dead, Dan doesn't believe it and comes to the conclusion that the arrival of this comic book is the link that will lead him to his father. The book centers on Jack, a heroic young cop with superb fighting skills. The police station disintegrates into chaos when David Lai, a notorious drugs king and gangster, is put in a cell with the regular prisoners. Lai's henchmen arrive and cause mayhem. Gradually, the stories in the comic book become so vivid to Dan that he and Jean are pulled into the reality of it.
