Plot
In the shadowy underbelly of Hong Kong, Jeffrey, an assassin of extraordinary caliber, yearns for a life away from the blood-stained world of contract killing. When he unintentionally blinds Jennie, a radiant lounge singer, during a turbulent assignment, he finds his exit strategy intertwined with an act of redemption. He vows to restore her sight, but to do so, he must complete one last deadly mission. His goal is within his grasp when his employers double-cross him, refusing to pay for his final job and setting a deadly trap for him instead.
Hot on Jeffrey's trail is Li Ying, a relentless and unconventional police detective. Initially out to bring this elusive hitman to justice, Li Ying soon realizes the extraordinary nature of his quarry. He recognizes that Jeffrey isn't the typical cold-blooded assassin he's been hunting, but a man desperate to save an innocent life and escape his violent past.
