Largo Winch II

Three years before his death, Nerio Winch tells Freddy Kaplan that he has located Largo Winch in a Burmese village and orders Freddy to tail him. The revelation links Largo’s fate to Nerio’s schemes and sets Freddy on a shadowy trail. This moment seeds the investigation that drives much of the story.

During a Burma village massacre, Largo rescues villagers and tends the wounded with his lover Malunaï. Simon Ovronnaz arrives with survivors and reveals he was hired by a man who worked for Min, provoking suspicion among locals led by Kadjang. Largo intervenes, wounding Kadjang in the process; Kadjang is banished while Malunaï denounces him. Largo leaves Burma with Simon, who heads to Bangkok.

In the present, Largo, now steering the W Group, announces the sale of the company and plans to donate the proceeds to charity. He enlists Alexandre Jung and Dwight Cochrane to seal the deal. As he signs the papers on Nerio's yacht, a Hong Kong Police unit led by Diane Francken arrives to press charges of crimes against humanity tied to the Burma massacre. Francken's team then discovers Freddy Kaplan dead in his room, complicating the case.

Francken publicly reveals a witness against Largo and tracks down a Swiss bank number tied to Pandora. He decides to pursue the truth by flying to Bangkok to meet the supposed witness and orders his loyal butler Gauthier to locate Simon Ovronnaz.

At the UN embassy in Bangkok, Largo learns the witness is Malunaï, who says she was coerced to testify by Min's forces. Francken reveals that Min was paid from Pandora; Largo protests, and Malunaï is detained. The Thai authorities release Largo, and he departs with Cochrane's aid, only to learn that Malunaï has been deported back to Burma.

Largo flies back to Burma where the local resistance, led by Kadjang, rescues him from a transport convoy and joins his side. They head toward General Min's base as Min's troops are distracted by a gas-tank explosion. Largo frees prisoners, including Malunaï's son Noom.

Min reveals he was paid to massacre the village but never received the rest of the money, and Largo is ordered to transfer 25 million to Min's account. He complies, then resists and escapes with Noom and Malunaï.

Francken has wired bank calls that reveal Largo’s move could undermine Pandora’s funding. The resulting stock crash hits W Group and complicates Nazatchov’s planned buyout.

Back in Burma, Largo and Malunaï rekindle their romance. She reveals that Noom is Largo's son, changing Largo's understanding of his responsibilities.

Gauthier locates Simon Ovronnaz, and they reunite to help clear Largo's name. They coordinate to bring forward a plan to restore Largo's innocence.

Largo arrives at the UN and Jung attempts to silence Francken. Simon provides a plan that uses a sugar remedy to counteract the sedatives Jung administered to Largo. Jung is confronted on a stairwell and defeated, ending his scheme.

Francken clears Largo of all charges, and Nazatchov's bid to buy W Group is blocked by renewed attention on Largo's case. Largo returns to Burma to visit Malunaï's grave with Noom, promising to care for the boy as Gauthier and Simon watch over a fragile peace.
