One seeks justice for a personal tragedy that has haunted him for years, while the other pursues wealth, fame, and the thrill of proving himself against every worthy opponent. Their separate paths eventually converge, drawing them into a dangerous web of betrayal, ruthless enemies, and deadly confrontations that test both their abilities and their convictions. As powerful kung fu masters stand in their way, the rivals must decide whether their personal ambitions are worth more than the greater battle unfolding around them.
