Richard 'Bastard' Ma (Tony Leung) is a tight fisted, mean and unpleasant character. He is also a wealth businessman who has become increasingly bitter and mistrustful due to what he believes are the gold digging women in his life.

Following a series of events one weekend, Richard's financial assets are temporarily frozen, his house is looted by his bitter ex-girlfriend and he has no cash leaving him helpless and broke.

It is during this fateful weekend that he meets Ah Choi (Shu Qi); a struggling stokebroker who is trying ward off the attentions of an unwanted suiter from her local village. By offering to help to Ah Choi in return for financial gain, a most surprising relationship develops between this unlikely pair.

References to Hong Kong culture

* The film is a satirical reflection of the materialistic nature of modern Hong Kong society.

* Drinking games are popular in Hong Kong. About 15 minutes into the film they play a drinking game called 'Millionaire'. For this, everyone has to perform one of three gestures and each person takes turns to call them out. If both people are doing the same gesture, the person calling wins and the other drinks. Tony Leung and Shu Qi play another game a little while after called 'Liar'.
