From the streets of Hong Kong to the neon-lit Chinatowns of Britain, Georgie Pai developed an across the country criminal empire through his Triad gang Wo Shing Wo. With a network of protection rackets, gambling dens and an army of loyal followers, he controlled his turf with threats, violence and machetes. Gangster steps inside the world of the Triads. A brotherhood bound by secret handshakes and sophisticated rituals, where loyalty is sworn in blood. For years, Georgie Pai's name alone caused absolute fear amongst Britain's Chinese neighborhood. He was deported back to Hong Kong numerous times, but with cops unable to pin him to a single crime, it was delegated a group of journalists to bring him down.
