An extremely mundane tale of cops and killers in urban Hong Kong.
When street criminal Mak Kay (Ng Man Tat) is killed to prevent his testifying against a trafficker in illegal aliens, Inspector Lee Wai and his partner Yung Ting Pang (Danny Lee) pursue the case, bringing down a bad cop and a corrupt lawyer along the way. In retaliation, their superior is murdered
and Yung's wife assaulted. Going after the head boss alone, Yung is captured by hitman Ng Tao (Chow Yun-Fat), resulting in Yung's hospitalization. His partner is left to kill Ng Tao and knife the boss, getting shot by a bodyguard in the process.
