After losing his entire savings in an illegal, backroom card game, Goni (CHO Seung-woo, ''The Sword with No Name'') discovers it was all a set up - he was swindled by professional gamblers. Enraged and desperate, he sets out to get his money back by any means necessary. Impressed by the young man's determination, veteran gambler Mr. Pyeong (BAEK Yoon-sik, ''The Taste of Money'') takes Goni on as his apprentice and teaches him all there is to know about Hwatu, a card game also known as ''The War of Flowers.'' Now Goni is ready to make his debut in an underworld where the stakes are high and the rules are few: To win, you must be ruthless. The hand must be quicker than the eye. No game is safe. And there are no friends for life, just as there are no enemies for life.
