Exclusion

The Fight for Chinatown

Beschreibung

Escaping prostitution, Suzie Ping now runs her own global human trafficking business, which stretches from China to Chinatown in NYC. Cold-blooded killer Danny Chu runs Chinatown with his Flying Dragons gang, and Suzie pays him for protection. When Suzie strikes up a love affair with Danny's #1 enemy, Gino Ranno, Don of the biggest Italian crime family in NYC, Danny schemes a plan to blackmail Suzie into poisoning Gino, leaving the Chinese full control of all illegal business dealings on the streets, including the gambling, drug, and construction business which would mean millions upon millions of dollars to his people. Danny had vowed to his grandparents he would right the wrong from many years past when the Chinese were EXCLUDED from obtaining work in America. Is Suzie's Chinese heritage and loyalty to her family back home stronger than her love for Gino, or will this West Side Story type of romance end Gino's life?
