Synopsis
Lap and Wei were childhood buddies who grew up training together in the state-sponsored martial arts troupe. Wei felt there was no future in the troupe and plotted to remain illegally in the USA when the troupe was on a performance tour. Lap found out at the airport just before their return flight and tried to stop Wei. Lap not only failed to dissuade Wei, he also became the unwitting scapegoat after Wei unintentionally killed an airport police. Both went separate paths.
Lap was sheltered by Andy who admired Lap's skills. Lap began working in Lap's uncle's grocery store while evading police manhunt. Wei took up with the mob lieutenant Mako and began to impressing the bosses with his ruthless efficiency at getting rid of rival gangs.
When the Big Boss decided to give Wei the chance to conduct a major drug deal, the jealous Mako tipped off the police to discredit Wei. Wei escaped the police but lost the drugs. Andy accidentally found the drugs and decided it was his ticket to get rich. However, his attempt to sell the drugs led the mob back to his uncle's grocery store. The Big Boss ordered Wei to prove his worth to the mob by cleaning up the mess and finishing off Lap.
