Hui Man Keung is washed up on a beach near Shanghai. He is taken in by Ding Lik, a kindly beggar who is in love with Fung Ching Ching, the daughter of a prominent gangster. It isn't long before Ding Lik rises through the underworld ranks to become one of the city's most powerful gangsters.
VIBE
A sweeping, operatic crime saga set against a tumultuous Shanghai. It feels like a smoky, rain-slicked noir, filled with dangerous ambition, forbidden love, and the intoxicating rise and fall of power. A truly epic, yet intimate, experience.
