Plot

On a rainy night in Shenzhen, a female prostitute named Sze Kam Oi Yee was strangled to death by female wanted criminal Yip Siu Ngan in order to assume her identity. Ngan poses as Yee and passes the customs and successfully arrives in Hong Kong. After reporting the loss of her ID card, she successfully obtains Yee's identity. Yee has a Hong Kong ID because her husband is a Hong Kong resident, who at the time is waiting for his wife's arrival.

Siu Ngan meets a brothel frequenter Chan Kai Ming, who is a taxi driver who divorced and left his daughter Yin Yin to be cared by his mother, whom he also rarely interferes with. Ngan chooses Ming as her victim and first runs him over with a car crippling him and later sneaks into his house and holds him hostage and asks about him in detail. On night, Ming's mother comes to visit his son and the vicious Ngan killers her in order to not ruin her plan and defrauds Yin.

On the day that Ngan receives her ID card, Yee's husband finds Ngan suspicious and follows her to Ming's house. While he was fighting with Ngan, her husband Kwan Fai arrives and kills Yee's husband. The couple are both wanted criminals. Fai, who is crippled in both hands, intends to take Ming's identity and his arms. Fai chops off Ming's arms, who dies from blood loss, and Fai attaches it to his arms and successfully obtains Ming's identity.

Just as their plan seems successful, Yin escapes from the two and was found by construction workers and the truth is revealed and Ngan and Fai are once again wanted by the Hong Kong police. Setting foot on the road to escape again, Ngan tells Fai, quoting as saying "blame the moment that I was softhearted, I was not cruel enough before, but it does not matter, I will do better next time."
