Two heartsick Hong Kong policemen move through separate but related love stories: one obsessing over the end of a relationship, the other stalled after a breakup with his flight attendant girlfriend. Takeshi Kaneshiro is the first cop, whose countdown to lost love brings him into the orbit of a mysterious drug smuggler (Brigitte Lin). In the film’s second half, Tony Leung Chiu-wai’s officer drifts into an unexpected connection with Faye (Faye Wong), a late-night snack bar worker whose presence begins to disrupt his routine.
