Future Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar-wai makes his feature film debut with this gritty romantic crime-drama inspired in part by Mean Streets. The film opens with young gangster Wah (Andy Lau) getting a visit for the day from his beautiful cousin Ngor (Maggie Cheung), who is coming into Kowloon from the remote outlying Lantau island. At first, the short-fused gangster and the quiet country girl have little in common, but gradually the two start to form a bond of sorts. Meanwhile, Wah's buddy Fly (Jacky Cheung), who has an absolutely volcanic temper, is always getting Wah into hot water. Even though Wah knows that Fly is bound to end up dead soon, he stands by his foolhardy friend. Later, Wah -- who has fallen for Ngor -- visits his cousin on Lantau, hoping to make their relationship more than family. At the same time, Fly infuriates a psychopathic mob boss, who demanding that Fly take a suicidal mission to make amends.
A low-level triad "big brother" (Andy Lau) has a hot-tempered "little brother" (Jacky Cheung) who can't keep out of trouble, and consequently is in constant need of being bailed out by his protector. Andy is super cool, but lacks the ambition to rise in the ranks of the triad societies, and once he meets his cousin (Maggie Cheung), and falls in love with her, he decides he wants to leave "the life". But it turns out that he has to bail out Jacky one more time. And this time, Jacky may have gone too far.
