    Synopsis:
    Nick Cheung stars as Nick, an accountant sentenced to prison for allegedly embezzling a ton of dough. The joint is tough on Nick; he receives the Tim Robbins Shawshank Redemption treatment right away, meaning he's ostracized from other inmates, his glasses get broken, plus he makes some new "friends" and eventually has a tough time sitting down. These details officially ruin any chance that this film will be fun, but at least they should make impressionable youngsters think twice about commmitting white collar crimes.

    Nick makes bad bunkmates in the joint, but he also mests meets Teddy, a shrewd grifter who has the respect of the other inmates and offers to watch Nick's back. Fortunately, Teddy is smart and connected; under his watch, Nick learns plenty of useful card sharking, and no longer has to suffer the indignity of being romanced by fellow inmates.

    Nick and Teddy bond big time in prison, such that Teddy offers Nick a job as soon as he gets out. Teddy wants Nick to help him grift people out of their hard-earned cash, with the first target being Dragon (Eddie Cheung), a tough gangster who runs an illegal gambling den. However, Nick senses a betrayal from his supposed buddy. Teddy behaves disingenuously, and even acts mean to his ultra-hot girlfriend Lola (Alice Chan). Nick takes special offense at this because he finds Lola incredibly alluring, an attraction which develops when he spies Lola straddling Teddy in the hot tub. After getting a peek at her generous form, Nick begins to lust after Lola big time. He grows jealous of Teddy, and begins to get all itchy despite having a loving girlfriend (Jolie Chan) at home. Though he tries to remain content, he simply can't get the image of Lola and Teddy bumping and grinding out of his mind...
