The son of a powerful triad gang leader through his own decisions turns his and his family's lives upside down. After sleeping with the girlfriend of a powerful gang leader Sid is forced into seclusion as an alternative to losing his hands or his live. Having been the drummer in a band he is drawn to the sounds of drumming echoing through the mountains in his exile. The discovery of the Zen Drummers changes his life forever.
This movie was interesting. There is a mix of some action with inspirational concepts buried in the story around the Zen Drummers. It doesn't go so far as to be a spaghetti style Hong Kong triad movie and has a bit more action then your typical Buddhist inspired movie. Such a balance is a difficult one to maintain in a movie and the did a decent job walking that fine line in this movie.
