    A disenchanted youth, impertinent and anti-social, does what he can to survive in the Hong Kong underworld of gambling and petty crime. Looking for work, he accepts a contract to threaten a debt-ower with a savage beating. After spending a night of gambling with his advance fee, he ends ip the winner of a monstrous sum of cash and decides to sub-contract the violent job. He finds the perfect foil in a young woman, recently released from prison on a murder charge, and with an even bleaker outlook on life than his own. She decides to undertake the risks and complete the mission. But soon enough, the violently simple task becomes complicated by the involvement of a surreal and absurd cast of characters born in the dark Hong Kong underground. Adding to it even more, the two caustic street urchins find themselves falling in love. Soon, the completion of their paid assignment is in serious jeopardy and must be seen through at all costs. Their lives depend on it!
