In Hong Kong vernacular, a "sparrow" is a pickpocket. It's the perfect term for Kei (Simon Yam), a gentleman thief who can easily lift your wallet and disappear without a trace. Kei and his partners make a good living doing this. It's sweet life for Kei, who spends his free time whizzing around the city on his bicycle, snapping photos with his vintage camera. One day, an alluring woman named Chun Lei (Kelly Lin) appears in his viewfinder and utterly captivates him. In fact, the entire team falls for her. However, in time, they realize that Chun Lei is a woman on the run, and she has deliberately lured them in for one reason - to steal something precious from a very dangerous man. Have the sparrows finally met their match? --Jason Soeda
