Rich gambler Ian has long held a grudge against Jing for embarrassing him years ago, and determined to take revenge. Jing’s sister Yan and Ching’s brother Ming are taken hostage in Ian’s illegal casino. To rescue them, Ching breaks her vow to quit gambling and, alongside Jing, confronts Ian in a final high-stakes gamble...
