Как это бывает каждые два года, пришло время старейшинам самой древней Гонконгской триады «Во Шинг» выбрать нового главу. Между двумя приемлемыми кандидатами возникает страшная конкуренция. Лок — фаворит в выборах, так как он находится на хорошем счету у старейшин. Однако его соперник, Большой Ди, не остановится ни перед чем, чтобы изменить ситуацию в свою пользу. Он даже готов пойти против многовековых традиций триады и попытаться повлиять на окончательное решение с помощью денег и насилия. Когда пропадает давний символ власти «Во Шинг» — жезл «Голова Дракона» — начинается беспощадная битва за власть, и стремление соперничающих лагерей поскорее вернуть жезл, грозит триаде расколом.
