In Hong Kong at night, a young killer works with the precision of a machine. He receives his orders from a female agent who resides in the same run-down hotel where the mute Ho leads a mysterious double life. As the disaffected killer begins to doubt his job, he hangs out with runaway Punkie. While he ends up in that ominous hotel with the girl, a relationship seems to be brewing between Ho and the lonely agent.
