Plot summary
In 1974, as the Vietnam War enters its final days, Mark Lee arrives in Saigon to bring his uncle and his cousin Michael Cheung Chi-mun back to Hong Kong. Corrupt airport guards strip him and try to rob him until Chow Ying-kit, a woman with influence in the city, steps in. Kit runs guns, and she brings the cousins along to a sit-down with a Vietnamese warlord. The meeting sours and the three fight their way out, and Kit is impressed by how Mark and Michael handle themselves. Over the following months she teaches them how her trade works and how to shoot. Both cousins are drawn to her, and she to Mark, but Mark holds back to spare Michael, who believes Kit loves him. Kit arranges safe passage out of Saigon for the family.
