Officer Milo’s (Alex Fong) task
force is assigned to the case when a gangster's son is accidentally killed
during a drunken dispute with a rival gang. He soon learns that a hitman has
been hired to take out the rival gang leader. While Milo and his crew
desperately try to find and stop the hired gun, fearing all-out war in the
streets, Lai Fu (Daniel Wu), a smart but inexperienced killer from a small town
in the mainland, arrives in Hong Kong to do his job. A decent sort, he
intercedes when he sees a thug threatening a prostitute at his hotel. She turns
out to be Dan Dan (Cecilia Cheung), from a small town not far from his own. Dan
Dan is a very practical young woman, and when she sees the wad of cash Lai Fu is
carrying, she pretty much latches onto him. Since she knows her way around town,
this turns out to be a help to Lai Fu when he finds out that the contractor who
hired him has ratted him out to the cops. As it turns out, Lai Fu isn't really
that interested in killing for money, and has an ulterior, more benign motive
for his trip into town.
