Caught between fate and betrayal, a son must decide where his loyalties and ambitions lie.
The Syndicate, run by the aging Wong, is trapped in a
battle for survival as a long-running gang war draws to
an endgame, threatening to destroy what is left of his
crime organisation and family.
Although he has valiantly kept his surviving son away from
the Syndicate, Gavin is slowly drawn into a plot to topple
his father by his bitter chief lieutenant, preparing to
seize power after years of being sidelined.
Beyond the brutal gang warfare, a wider landscape of
political manipulation and corruption emerges. All sides are desperate to settle old scores as a power-hungry politician
and a disgraced police inspector join forces to assassinate
Kuala Lumpur’s infamous “King of Chinatown”.
