Be-friending a powerful mobster Wing Jing is given his nightclub in return for saving Tam Sei's life. Unfortunately, another Gangster wants the territory a well. Corruption and violence rule the streets as Wing Jing and Tam Sei must battle not only the rival gangs but the corrupt police officials as well.

VIBE

A brutal, operatic descent into Shanghai's underworld. Expect stylized, balletic violence and a somber tone as loyalty is tested and ambition leads to inevitable tragedy. This is a visceral, high-octane crime epic.
