The Abbot of Po Chi Lam is about to die and therefore name a successor. The aggressive and hot-tempered San Sau seems likely, but the Abbot favours the quieter Wai Nam. On his deathbed, the Abbot entrusts the temple's surplice to Wai Nam and sends him out into the world. San Sau and his allies are determined to get it back.
