Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
From the producers of the popular Young and Dangerous series comes director Billy Tang's sordid look at life in the Hong Kong underworld. Chingmy Yau stars as Yan, a triad girl who takes the fall for her gangster boyfriend Walkie Pi (Simon Yam) and is subsequently imprisoned by authorities for a crime she didn't commit. Upon release the self-possessed Yan so impresses call-girl club owner Playboy Man (Michael Tao) that the enamored heavy hires her as a Mamasan at his glamorous club Number One. When Number One's top Mamasan Karen (Valerie Chow) departs for a job at a rival club, Yan is promoted to the top position -- a promotion that sparks a bitter war between the two clubs.
