In a dark and vibrant 1990s Hong Kong, the life of a hitman begins to unravel when his new job brings him face to face with a young woman he sees as a “rival” in life, struggling to find her place in a world that seems to have forgotten her. As the man confronts his own demons, he finds himself torn between loyalty to his ruthless boss and an increasingly intense desire to escape his life of violence.
Meanwhile, a desperate woman, who has sold her soul to the world of prostitution, seeks redemption in the shadows of the city. Faced with a multitude of decisions, their paths ultimately intertwine in a series of tragic and thrilling events. The story delves into solitude, betrayal, and the anguish of broken hearts as the vibrant, melancholic music of the city becomes another character in this murky tale.
As the plot progresses, the bonds between the protagonists grow stronger and, at the same time, more dangerous. With a stylized aesthetic and bold narrative, the film is an intense exploration of love, loss, and what it truly means to become lost in the darkness. The city, with its unbridled life, serving both as a refuge and a prison, deepens the characters' struggle for redemption in a world that seems to offer no second chances.
