Synopsis
Dodi bácsi (Gálvölgyi János), the small king of the eighth district and a once successful businessman, opens a nightclub, the Revü bar, as the culmination of his career. He employs his handsome and young nephew, Rómeó (Csányi Dávid), who is not exactly cut out to be a gangster. The Revü also needs good music, so Dodi bácsi hires the Kalányos Rap Team, a Roma rap band whose members moved from the countryside in hopes of success. A Chinese shop opens on the street, and the shopkeeper's daughter, Mai-Lien (Huang Phong), and Rómeó fall in love at first sight. Dodi's bodyguard kills the Chinese shopkeeper's son. Rómeó witnesses the murder and doesn't know what to do next. It turns out that the Chinese mafia has outgrown the locals, and Dodi cannot escape their revenge. He sacrifices his bodyguard and even Rómeó if Mai-Lien doesn't rescue him in time. Rómeó doesn't wait to see what new deal will be made over his life...
