It opens as she performs a hit on a lowlife while riding a roller coaster at an amusement park. Her weapon is a compact/powder puff that shoots lethal darts. As she flees the park she's inadvertently captured on film by another lowlife with an instant camera whose girlfriend finds the dropped compact and recognizes Lily from the picture, leading the lowlife boyfriend to hatch a blackmail plan. We gradually come to learn that Lily's not actually a professional assassin, but is on a mission of revenge against the extortion gang that killed her father. The blackmailer pressures her to rub out a newly-released ex-con due to testify in court against a gang of smugglers fronted by a textile company whose manager is the boyfriend of Lily's close friend, Jiamei.
