Plot

Chui Pai (Pat Ha) was a dangerous killer who shot a woman during the night and lives with her daughter. She was hunted for many years and cannot stop hiding. Hsiang Ming (Yuen Biao) was a police officer who was doing his job poorly. His wife was killed in a restaurant and police accuse him of his wife's murder. Things become even more complicated for Hsiang as he discovers that she and he are now targetted by detectives led by Superintendent Lui (Charlie Chin), seeking to cover evidence of their own drug crimes. Framed for murder, Hsiang’s options rapidly contract as the killers target his elderly mother and young daughter. Wounded, Hsiang is forced to rely on the assassin Pai, who slowly discovers warmth while caring for him and his young daughter. They have to stick together as long as they can until they die or are sent to custody.
