Episode 1 In 1996 in the Philippines, Hong Konger CHAI FOON-CHONG is leading a down and out life. He meets CHOW FOOK-WING, who is also from Hong Kong and who is also alone here, by chance. The kindhearted WING puts him up in his place. He even pays off CHONG’s gambling debts from time to time, hoping that he can one day regain his confidence. Six years have passed, but CHONG has not really changed. He gambles away ten thousand US dollars of WING’s. Just as CHONG wants to run away from WING’s questioning, he finds that someone has taken WING away. CHONG bumps into KIU CHING-CHO, his opponent in the International Poker Tournament ten years ago, when he is looking for WING. To his surprise, the ten thousand dollars actually belong to CHO. To save WING, CHONG gives his passport to CHO, who promises to give it back to him when his debt is cleared. It turns out that it is a ploy of WING and CHO to help CHONG pull himself together…… |
