- Synopsis
- What should have been a standard assassination goes awry, all because of a mongrel. Crime boss Brother Shing orders hitman Howard to kill an old man while walking his dog. Although the hit is successful, the remarkably loyal mongrel refuses to leave. Howard takes pity on the mongrel that waits for its dead owner who will never return. Eventually, man and dog form a bond. On a fateful day, Howard accidentally kills a female student who tries to bully the mongrel, and the situation escalates to fateful consequences. Screen veteran LAU Kong exudes evilness as the ruthless crime boss. Behind the symbolism of the jellyfish looms the sense of nihilism and loss.
