A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop

Wang is a gloomy and cunning noodle shop owner in a desert town in China. Feeling neglected, Wang's wife secretly goes out with Li, one of his employees. A timid man, Li reluctantly keeps the gun the landlady bought for 'killing her husband later'. Every single move they make, however, does not escape the boss's notice. Wang decides to bribe patrol office Zhang to kill the illicit couple. It looks like a perfect plan: the affair will come to a cruel but satisfying end, or so he thinks, but the equally wicked Zhang has an agendy of his own that will lead to even more violence.
