Overview

Nightfall is a 2012 Hong Kong crime thriller film directed by Roy Chow, starring Nick Cheung, Simon Yam, Janice Man and Kay Tse. The film is about a convicted murderer who, after being released on parole, starts stalking the younger sister of his victim and becomes the suspect after her abusive father is found murdered. Plot 20 years ago, Wong Yuen-yeung was given a life sentence for murdering Eva, the daughter of a famous musician Han Tsui. Now, after he is released on parole, he starts stalking Zoe, Tsui's younger daughter. Tsui is very abusive and controlling towards Zoe, often beating her in his drunken rage and forbidding her from having any male friends. George Lam, a police detective, is still deeply affected by his wife's suicide many years ago. He tries to distract himself with his work, but inadvertently ends up neglecting his daughter. After Tsui is found dead near the beach, Lam and his colleagues investigate the murder and find out about Eva's case, making them believe that Wong might be responsible. A manhunt for Wong ensues after he attacks the police and escapes. In the meantime, the police visit Tsui's house again and discover traces of blood on a patch of ground below the balcony of Zoe's room.
