From the Subway Cinema web page for the film when it screened at the 2013 New York Asian Film Festival: "Ma Sha grew up on the mean streets, an illegitimate son raised by his grandmother. He becomes a pimp in a brothel and is arrested and sent to jail for 15 years for killing one of the customers. The movie follows his life as he fights in jail, escapes, fights some more, gets sent to an island, and then tries to write and publish his story. Which then is turned into a movie, starring himself and his epic dragon tattoo."
