action
Southeast Asia in the present. Triad member Ko secretly gets involved in criminal business with the newly arrived Mafioso Terrtano. When the funky young gangster is given the task of extorting information from three prisoners, he turns to a shy friend, the stoic professional killer named "T", for help. The charismatic contract killer, Kos's great role model, provides the inexperienced criminal with the necessary information. When Ko liquidates the abducted men a little later, without knowing their identities, the young man's inexorable decline begins because he unknowingly murdered the son of his own triad boss.
Profikiller T has meanwhile been given the job of killing everyone involved in the kidnapping. When he falls in love with Kos's petite sister Mae, however, he spares her brother, who from then on is confronted with a plot of betrayal and revenge. When Mae is raped and Ko is murdered at the end of the film, T himself gets caught between the lines. He starts a merciless campaign of revenge and kills all those responsible. At the end of the film, the convicted murderer chooses suicide .
