Plot

A story of violence, love and friendship that travels between Korea, China and Japan in the 1930s.

Shin Jung-tae (Kim Hyun-joong) loses his father at the age of 15 when a Japanese soldier shoots him during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai in the 1930s. But instead of finding justice, Jung-tae is accused of his own father’s death. Jung-tae finds justice only by using his fists in the back alleys of Shanghai, growing up to become the best fighter on the continent.
