- Synopsis
- Justice applies to all equally—but some are more equal than others. Hai was adopted by executioner Keung after his parents were murdered. Since growing up, Hai is instilled the belief that justice is always upheld by the ruling class. Officials indeed serve and protect the people through their power to kill criminals. Hai may be shunned by others for being an executioner, but he never wavers in his beliefs of the system until he witnesses a girl being harassed by the rich. As the girl was executed without a fair and open trial, Hai realises that the banner of moral righteousness he uphold over the years is worthless when faced with collusion among the officials and the rich. The brutality and corruption of those in power are deadlier than the knife of an executioner.
