[edit] Plot
This film follows the life and times of Solo, a former drug dealer trying to make good, and takes you on a journey into the dark side of gangsterism and drugs.
As a teenager growing up in Sungai Golok, Solo was exposed to the underbelly of crime existing within his community, which he inevitably gets caught up in himself. One day he meets the Thai beauty Chalita, who he falls in love with and ultimately marries. Soon after, Chalita becomes pregnant and Solo, wanting to provide all he can for his growing family, gets even more involved in drug dealing. Unfortunately for him, he gets caught by the authorities and is sentenced to 20 years in jail. (It's in jail that he gets the nickname 'Castello')
While in jail, Castello vows to turn over a new leaf, and go on the straight and narrow. As soon as he is released, Castello goes in search for his wife and child, only to find out that Phim, his daughter, is now a drug addict. The past comes back to haunt Castello, as he has to deal with some major players in the drug dealing industry, to save his daughter from a terrible fate.
