2003, Dongguan.
The sleeper cars going south were full of gold rush dreams, and Zhang Zhan was one of them. In order to collect 50,000 yuan for the operation fee for his seriously ill father, he took only a few hundred yuan and a lonely courage to break into this city wrapped in neon and desire. After hitting the south wall, he finally became a small security guard in a nightclub. He swallowed his anger and just wanted to live a stable life. But this fucked-up world doesn't even leave a way for honest people to survive!
In an accident, because he protected an innocent girl selling alcohol, he offended a local gangster and was hunted down by gangsters throughout the city, forcing him into a dead end.
If you take a step back, you will find yourself in an abyss, so don't take a step back! In the end, with a pair of iron fists and precise calculations, he fought his way out of the avalanche of swords and shadows. Stepping through the conspiracy in the gutter, overthrowing the power above, gathering the brothers who have died in the Jianghu, and laying out an interlocking chess game of power.
From a low-level security guard to a gangster, he climbed up from the quagmire of the lowest level of society. He walked through every old street in Dongguan, met his brothers who were destined to die, and also met his sworn opponents. No system, no golden fingers, just a passion and a strong body. In that golden age, he wrote a legend belonging to the southern world.
