Cheng is a young Chinese mainlander who moves in with his expatriate cousins to work at an ice factory in Thailand. He does this with a family promise never to get involved in any fights. However, when members of his family begin disappearing after meeting the management of the factory, the resulting mystery and pressures force him to break that vow and take on the villainy of the Big Boss.
Before the world knew him as a global icon, a raw and kinetic Bruce Lee fights to uncover a deadly conspiracy lurking inside a frozen factory. This kinetic martial arts classic trades polished choreography for unbridled, frantic energy that feels dangerously alive.
