A young, romantic Taiwanese girl named Bu (Shu Qi) finds
a message in a bottle and follows it to Hong
Kong in search of love. But when she finds the man
responsible for sending the message, Albert (Tony
Leung), he turns out to be gay. Before she returns
home however, she meets wealthy businessman, C.N. Chan
(Jackie Chan), and decides to stay in Hong Kong to
pursue him under false pretenses. C.N. himself is
involved in a corporate rivalry with a boyhood friend,
L.W. Lo (Wakin). When C.N. bests him in a business
maneuver that costs his company huge losses, Lo hires a
short, American fighter, Alan (Brad Allen), to challenge C.N.
to a martial arts match. The results of the fight,
as well as his growing feelings for Bu, bring C.N. to a
crisis point. He must regain his honor and then
lose it again in order to find the happiness and love he
so desperately seeks.
