Three childhood friends join the Hong Kong Triads only to discover that fame and fortune will ultimately break them apart as only one can become the leader of the gang.

Seventeen years ago, an assassin ambushes triad boss Yau. Yau’s wife, Nam, sends Chai, Kam and others to find the assassin. Chai catches the assassin and discovers that he is Meow, Chai and Kam’s childhood best friend. To save his friend, Chai helps Meow flee Hong Kong. Though Yau survives the attack, the injuries leave him crippled for the rest of his life.

One of the gang’s most respected elders, Fa Kam is expected to be the gang’s next leader. However, when his three trusted underlings - Wah, Fei and Kwok - are robbed while transporting the gang’s money, his future is put in jeopardy. When Wah discovers the stolen money’s whereabouts, he must choose between his boss and his two best friends.
