==Plot==<br />
"Sparrow" is Hong Kong's street slang for "pickpocket" and this is a story about a gang of four sparrows. They work in-group lifting wallets from unsuspected tourists until one day a mysterious, sexy woman of unknown origin appears in front of them, requesting the gang to steal a key for her. They find the mission irresistible and complete it with care. However, the set-up begins to unravel itself when they get the key. The pickpockets realize that the exotic beauty has been slowly leading them onto a path of no return ...<br />
