Wong Tat Lung was hunted down by the triads in Hong Kong twenty years ago and became a resident of the black market in Toronto, where he stayed for twenty years without an identity card. He joined a gang and made a lot of money by working as a black market gambler. He has not returned to Hong Kong for 20 years and has not fulfilled his fatherly duties. His daughter, Wong Siu Ming, hates him, but because she is entrusted by her late mother, she has to go to Toronto to see her father. In order to meet his daughter, Lung buys a big house and participates in a coke deal in order to give her some money, but the deal goes bad and is busted by the police. Lung even betrays Tony, a gangster, and is hunted down by him. When Lung meets his daughter for the first time, he is killed by Tony, but there is video evidence of Tony's murder. Tony then hunts down and kills Sau Ming and Lung's henchman, Fu Chai, and Fu Chai and Sau Ming are forced to flee for their lives and fight with Tony.
