An old man reminiscing about his teenage life in the 1950s, recounts the tale of his friend Dang Bireley, son of a whore, James Dean fan, and leader of a Pra Nakorn (Bangkok) gang. As Dang's empire grows, friends become enemies and violence becomes an everyday occurrence.
When there is a sudden police clampdown, and gang leaders are arrested right, left and centre, Dang flees the city and ends up working for an ex-cop named Chieng, who is setting up a brothel/bar and a casino near to an American airbase. Times are good for a while; Dang is joined by old friends Piak and Lam Sing and business thrives. The good times come to an end, however, when Chieng hires two of Dang's old rivals from Pra Nakorn, the nasty Pu and his sidekick Dum.
Inevitably, tension mounts, angers flare and people die...
From the people who brought us the wonderful Tears of a Black Tiger comes this tragic story about a group of friends whose violent destiny is inescapable; despite Dang's best efforts to save both himself and his friend Piak from a life of crime, we soon realise that these young hoodlums have nowhere to go but down the well trodden path of crime and corruption. Even as Dang tries to keep his promise to his mother of becoming a monk, his violent past catches up with him resulting in a brilliantly bloody climax.
Well written, expertly directed, and brilliantly acted by the engaging cast, this stylish movie should definitely be seen by all fans of Asian cinema and particularly those who love gangster films.
