From the back alleys of Hong Kong to the of Britain, Georgie Pai developed an across the country criminal empire through his Triad gang Wo Shing Wo. With a network of security rackets, betting dens and an army of faithful fans, he managed his turf with threats, violence and machetes. Gangster actions inside the world of the Triads. A brotherhood bound by secret handshakes and intricate rituals, where loyalty is sworn in blood. For years, Georgie Pai's name alone caused outright fear among Britain's Chinese neighborhood. He was deported back to Hong Kong numerous times, but with cops unable to pin him to a single crime, it was delegated a team of reporters to bring him down.
