Sid, the son of a Hong Kong mob boss, is forced to flee to the mountains of Taiwan. There he meets the members of a small community devoted to perfect body and mind through rigorous physical training. They are also virtuous zen drummers, an ancient art from China. Sid becomes one more in this community until one day he learns that his family is fighting a rival gang and needs him. Sid will have to choose between loyalty to his own kin and the value system he has just learned.
