Synopsis

Early in the Republic of China era, in Tianjin.

At the Haihe River docks, laborer Yuan Jinghai only wants to earn a steady living for his brothers. But a floating corpse and a tea-house arbitration drag him into a deadly game involving dock bosses, compradors, and the Japanese.

On one side are the sinister schemes of the old guard; on the other, the ruthless devouring of rising predators. Above them all looms the shadow of foreign warships and their cannons. He claws his way up from the mud, and with sheer courage and wits, plants his flag in the face of despair.

This is no martial world, but a slaughterhouse. The old rules are dead, and only blades and guns command respect. Watch as he, a lowly nobody, navigates among giants and crocodiles at these blood-soaked docks, carving out a path to power through blood, fire, and silver.
