Plot summary
In the months before the 1997 handover, three men work the Hong Kong underworld on separate paths. Cheuk Tze-keung is a flamboyant kidnapper who extorts ransoms from wealthy people while the police watch him. Yip Kwok-foon, once a prestigious robber, lives in China after a shootout with the Royal Hong Kong Police sent him there; he smuggles counterfeit electronics and grows angry at having to grovel to corrupt officials. Kwai Ching-hung is cautious, works under pseudonyms and sticks to small robberies; he comes back to Hong Kong with two gangsters from the mainland to rob a jewelry store and stays with Fai, a former gang member who has gone straight. Word spreads that the three most notorious thieves, the Three Kings of Thieves, are planning one final score together, and the rumor reaches all three.
