A young martial artist accidentally comes into possession of a valuable artifact that foreign smugglers are desperate to steal. He prefers a unique and unorthodox fighting style that becomes more powerful and unpredictable the more he drinks. He must master this chaotic technique to defend his family's honor and protect his country's cultural treasure from being shipped overseas.
