Guns don't kill people, it is people who kill people.

The runaway pistol, which has a life of its own, traveled from the underbelly of Mongkok (Hong Kong) to seedy Shenzhen (China) across the border. It found its way into the hands of a motley crowd of characters, and transformed the lives of a sex worker, a small-time hood, a middle class family, troubled teenagers, a suicidal fisherman, illegal immigrant and innocent and not-so-innocent bystanders, each with their own pain, loss, regrets and dreamsK The Runaway Pistol fashioned a one-of-a-kind road movie. It was a complex kaleidoscope of images with subversive and surreal intensity. It was a cruel fairy tale about a city on the verge of a moral meltdown.
