This Chinese film follows the exploits of slightly shady protagonist Gao as he goes to Pingxi to open a temporary gambling house with three friends. His girlfriend is frightened of his possibly criminal crew and tries to prevent Gao from carrying out his next money making scheme-investing in a Shanghai nightclub with a particularly seedy character. Gao’s stubbornness and determination to make it to the big time draw the entire group into one perilous situation after another.
