通缉犯陈桂林（阮经天 饰）生命将尽，却发现自己在通缉榜上只排名第三，他决心查出前两名通缉犯的下落，并将他们一一除掉。陈桂林以为自己已成为当代的周处除三害，却没想到永远参不透的贪嗔痴，才是人生终要面对的罪与罚。 　　影片引用的“周处除三害”典故，见于《晋书·周处传》和《世说新语》。据记载，少年周处身形魁梧，武力高强，却横行乡里，为邻人所厌。后周处只身斩杀猛虎孽蛟，他自己也浪子回头、改邪归正，至此三害皆除。Insatiable greed, hatred and delusion are the crimes and punishments that life will eventually face. Who's playing who? Nobody knows. The Pig, the Snake, and the Pigeon, a traditional Chinese tale which can reflect the situation of Chen Kui-Lin, the main role of this movie.
