Based on a book by Edmond Pang Ho Cheung, Fulltime Killer protagonist O is a hitman being challenged by new hotshot Tok. O has lived a life of seclusion as the number one hitman in Asia. The woman living at his contact address is captured after O foils a set-up by his boss. He then goes on the run whilst trying to fend off his adversary.

[edit] Trivia
- The movie-enthusiast Tok acknowledges the similarity of the film's premise to that of Assassins.
- The film has two endings. The normal one that appeared in theaters and the special ending for Malaysia where O and Chin end up being caught by police. This was supposidly done as per special request to show that "Crime doesn't Pay".
