A dark Hong Kong crime romance where separated lovers are drawn back together across years of violence and criminal entanglement, their rekindled passion colliding with the dangerous worlds they've been forced into.

The fallout resulting from a botched Triad gang smuggling job forces a young couple to separate - she becomes a kingpin’s unwilling moll and he travels to the Philippines to work as a contract killer. Six years later, the two are reunited in a chance encounter, but their rekindled emotions and people from their past lead them into extreme danger.
