About
In a chaotic era rife with bandits, rogue gangster Peng Yinan and his brothers Lei Wu and Ma Ming scrape by as outlaws. A mysterious woman Zhuang Yue hires them with a gold bar to kidnap a bride from a ruthless bandit stronghold. During the mission, Peng discovers his long-sought archenemy—the man who massacred his family years ago—hidden among the criminals. Fueled by vengeance, Peng launches a brutal assault to settle scores and annihilate the gang.
