In 1988, a small southwestern town was on the cusp of earth-shaking changes amid the early days of China's reform and opening-up. Newly demobilized veteran Lin Qiang snapped after witnessing village tyrant Zhao Laowu bullying vulnerable locals, and publicly beat him up. Thinking he would face brutal retaliation from the tyrant's gang, he instead uncovered a deep, tangled web of hidden interests behind the town. Leveraging his grit and sharp business wits, he surged ahead amid the era's tide, rising from a down-on-his-luck vet to a prominent town figure, only to face unforeseen twists in both his career and personal life.
