Young and Dangerous

Ho Nam and his friends are beaten by Ugly Kwan and his men after a misunderstanding. The assault fuels their desire to join Hung Hing and follow Bee, the respected leader they idolize. They pledge loyalty and begin training under Bee's wing.

In 1995, Ho Nam and his group have established themselves as Bee's enforcers. They carry out their first major hit on Ba Bai's associate, proving their ruthlessness. The crew's reputation within Hung Hing begins to grow.

Bee's team carries out their first successful hit on Ba Bai, cementing Bee's leadership and Ho Nam's rising status. The operation signals the duo's deeper immersion into the triad's world of violence. It marks a turning point for their place within the organization.

Stuttering Smartie carjacks Ho Nam's Toyota MR2 in a bid to demand payment. Ho Nam and his crew capture her, and she is punished by being forced to eat dozens of Chinese barbecue pork buns. The incident shows the brutal codes of the triad world.

Kwan tries to buy Ho Nam out of Hung Hing, offering money to switch sides. Ho Nam refuses, choosing loyalty to Bee and the current leadership. This push-pull reveals the growing rift between factions.

Smartie, now in Ho Nam's orbit, follows him and begins to fall for him. Her loyalty deepens as she becomes more entangled with the gang's world. She moves from debtor to a more complex ally.

Bee is sent to Macau for another hit, but Kwan's ploy uses falsified information to Chiang Tin Sung. The mission ends in an ambush that kills Chow Pan and leaves Ho Nam blamed for the failure. The ambush marks the first major split within Hung Hing and sets the stage for further conflict.

With the ambush blamed on Ho Nam, friendships begin to fray as Chicken's girlfriend and Ho Nam are kidnapped and videotaped having sex to violate the society's rules. The humiliation deepens the rift within Hung Hing and pushes Chicken into exile. The videotape is used as leverage by Kwan to consolidate power.

At a Hung Hing summit, Kwan accuses Bee of failing the hit and Ho Nam of breaking the code, using the videotape as proof. Kwan nominates himself as the new chairman, Chiang Tin Sung steps down, and Bee opposes the move. The factional infighting signals a major power shift in the organization.

Ten months later, Kwan orders Bee killed along with his entire family. With most Hung Hing members siding with Kwan, Ho Nam can do little to intervene. The organization's leadership is effectively reorganized around Kwan.

Chicken returns from Taiwan as a branch leader of a local triad, reconnecting with Ho Nam and the remaining friends. The group begins plotting to challenge Kwan's control again.

Ho Nam and Chicken bribe other branch leaders to join them in eliminating Kwan, and they work covertly with local law enforcement who have uncovered Kwan's cocaine smuggling from his film studio. The alliance slowly narrows the field around Kwan as doubts grow within Hung Hing.

When Kwan tries to escape, Pou Pan is used as a hostage. A police officer shoots Kwan for wielding a firearm, ending his bid for power. The collapse of Kwan's regime clears the way for the next leadership.

Chiang Tin Sung returns and reclaims the Hung Hing chair, publicly acknowledging Ho Nam's efforts. Ho Nam's name becomes well known throughout the society as a result.
