Joe, a man who makes a living by being an assassin, is assigned with what seems to be another "job". Little does he know, the person that would be walking into his crossfire would forever change his life. In the midst of chaos, a singer by the name of Jennie interferes and ends up becoming blinded by Joe's gun (ironically, the very shot that saved her life). Feeling guilty, Joe enters into Jennie's life and aids her. After spending time with this woman, he wants to take one last job and live the rest of his days with her. With the money he'll pay for her eye surgery and run away to his paradise. An inspector assigned to the murder of a high official is hot on Joe's tail, not to mention the triad Joe works for. Through all the romance, friendship, betrayal, and courage; bullets fly and blood splash like the beautiful verses of a piece of poetry.
