Lau is Biggie, a fallen Buddhist monk who earns his money in the most wretched ways imaginable. When we first meet him, he's plying his trade as a male stripper, until the club is raided and he makes a run for it buck naked. Hot on his latex-sculpted tail is Lee Fung-Yee (Cheung), a rookie CID agent who has bad karma. Literally. Thanks to nifty superimposed visions, we learn early on that Biggie actually has the power to see karma. He sees the previous life of a dog—that of a dog-beating child—and soon after the dog is offed in a freak accident. Likewise, he sees ghostly visions of a Japanese World War 2 soldier behind Lee Fung-Yee, which can only mean that Yee—despite her youth and potential goodness—is destined for an early demise. This ability is both a blessing and a curse. It allows Biggie the opportunity to make sense of the world, but at the same time it brings the unfairness of the karmic system into sharp focus. Just because Yee's past life was a terrible one (her previous life involved numerous wartime atrocities), does she really deserve a terrible fate in this one?
