Bart is a professional assassin who is forced by economic hard times to turn to very unusual means of attracting clients. Cheun, a New York University Film School graduate, is determined to become the Chinese Martin Scorcese. Mrs. Ma is a greedy high society client who wants to see her enemies die. The three of them come up with the concept of documenting these murders on video. The somber sounding premise actually results in a biting satire of modern society that is both deadly and hilarious and will give audiences food for thought as it entertains them.
