Fatty has gone missing, and should Cheung (Shawn Yue) fail to locate the obese boy in short order, his vengeful mother Big Sister (Susan Shaw) is sure to have his head. The last place Fatty was known to have been was in Four-Eyed Tong's district, engaging in vigorous sex with a neighborhood hooker. Later, as undercover cop Cheung meets with Four-Eyed Tong to assess the situation, the Sum Sui Po district is about to explode. The players in this deadly game are Cheung, a young prostitute named Lulu, thirteen year old prostitute-in-training Fa, Four-Eyed Tong, and ruthless assassin Lo (Story of Ricky star Louis Fan). But who is Lo working for, and how does Cheung's frequent use of escort services factor into the equation? As the search for Fatty intensifies, the violence in the neighborhood escalates, soon threatening to consume everyone involved. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
