PLOT:

Hong Kong tycoon Donaka Mark runs an underground network of martial arts applied in bloody duels for paying audiences, live on site or pay per view. The police haven't got anywhere investigating him after the suspicious death of an informer who was put down after a fight. Donaka also recruits in mainland China, looking for novelties at mainstream martial arts events. In Beijing he spots and invites Tiger' Chen Lin Hu, a bike courier and the last student of tai chi master Yang, who almost despairs if his gifted disciple will finally embrace the meditation-based lifestyle or be destroyed by the destructive logic of violent ambition. To make tiger accept fighting for cash, Donaka arranges for the temple to need a small fortune within a month to avoid demolition. Tiger wins fast but descends in an amoral spiral and the police is on their trail.
