消磨一個人的正義和理想需要多久？尤其是警察。《夏天的尾巴》(第四屆)導演鄭文堂闊別電影五年的力作道出警察菜鳥面臨的抉擇。這位警察菜鳥一上班便撞正潛規則：人不能碰、案件 不能動，更因而被派去坐檔案室雪藏。堅持是非黑白的他誓不向惡勢力低頭，不惜翻查舊案，但最終是否真能找到真相？2010年憑《眼淚》奪台北電影獎最佳導演的鄭文堂，曾投身社會運動，經常拍攝草根題材，這次重返電影圈再次執導長片令影迷期待。和以往較温文的角色相比，宥勝飾演衝勁、氣盛、熱血的警察菜鳥，形象新鮮討好，對照飾演警察師兄的莊凱勛老成世故，火花十足。

Five years after winning Best Director at the Taipei Film Festival for dark police drama Tears, director Cheng Wen-Tang returns with Maverick, the second in a trilogy of police films intended to explore social injustices in Taiwan. Young detective Yeh (Chris Wang) joins the force and comes face-to-face with the unspoken rules of the job: some cases are not investigated and some men cannot be arrested. His veteran partner Yang (Chuang Kai-Hsun) refuses to close a case implicating the son of a corrupt local councilor who controls the gangs, the politicians and even Yang’s lover (Jian Man- Shu). To find justice and exorcise his personal demons, Yang must learn to trust the spirited rookie cop at his side.
