Devil Face, Angel Heart

Long and his brother Kwan work as assassins for the Hong Kong triad boss Dinosaur. Long is disfigured but he follows orders while silently witnessing Wendy's nightly abuse. He refuses to leave Dinosaur's orbit and vows to kill Dinosaur during a business trip to Taiwan; Wendy even hints she could call in her uncle to help them return if they succeed.

Two police officers, Kent and Dicky, are assigned to investigate Dinosaur's operations. Their pursuit is interrupted when Long and Kwan ambush them, and Dicky is fatally wounded in the confrontation.

After the ambush, Long and Kwan travel to a Taiwanese sex club where they meet a client and Dinosaur identifies targets, including Mei. The tension escalates as violence builds toward the planned strike.

During the chaos at the club, Long and Kwan strike while clients and the other women are shot. Mei, a featured girl initially reluctant due to age, is pulled deeper into Dinosaur’s brutal world.

The moment of reckoning arrives as Long confronts Dinosaur, slicing his throat and turning the scene into a bloodbath. A driver shoots Kwan, and Long, desperate to reach his brother, is driven toward the harbor in a brutal twist.

Mei saves Long and helps him recover from his injuries. She reveals a past of hardship, including work as a sex worker, and arranges facial surgery so Long can pass as a normal man again. She trains him and gives him a new identity: Michael.

Back in Hong Kong, Michael enters the criminal underworld as a reluctant henchman. Wendy has moved on with a new boyfriend and partner, Jimmy, setting up new power dynamics.

A dangerous client named Bull arrives at an Italian restaurant to close a deal, triggering a chaotic night. Michael slips away with Wendy while Jimmy is captured.

Michael devises a plan for Wendy to charm Bull and slip him a poisoned drink, but the plan falls apart when Wendy discovers the chamber is a dead end and Bull wasn’t poisoned. The confrontation ends with police intervention and arrests.

Michael returns to Kent’s house and deliberately provokes Kent into shooting him in the chest, claiming he wants to die in the hands of someone worthy. The act serves as a stark, final tableau on revenge, power, and survival in Hong Kong’s criminal underworld.
