Movie Info

In the wake of his first successful stint at the helm of a Chinese crime syndicate, Lok (Simon Yam) proposes an unheard-of second term. But when government corruption stifles legitimate business interests of Jimmy Lee (Louis Koo) in Hong Kong, the reformed triad operative rises to oppose Lok and regresses into a life of crime. As the conflict erupts into all-out gangland war, the business-minded Lee becomes increasingly brutal in his desperation to secure a comfortable future for his family.
