Taiwanese hitman Mr. Long is saved by a Japanese boy after a job gone wrong. Badly hurt, Mr. Long can only repay his saviour by cooking for him and thanks to the nosy neighbors the killer unexpectedly finds himself the owner of a food stall. But he cannot escape his bloodied past for long. Another masterful genre mix of laconic comedy, hardboiled gangster film and emotional drama by cult filmmaker SABU.
