The Story:
Based on a Belgian comic series by Phillippe Francq and Jean Van Hamme.
Largo Winch (Tomer Sisley) is the secret, adopted son of business mogul Nerio Winch (Miki Manojlovic), who heads his empire out of the impressive W Group tower in Hong Kong.
Largo’s existence is only discovered after Nerio is dragged from his boat and drowned in Victoria Harbour. It appears that Largo is sole heir to his father’s 65% share of the conglomerate and has been groomed his whole life as an insurance policy for exactly this eventuality.
Largo is tracked down in a Brazilian jail by Nerio’s facial scar-sporting manservant, Freddy (Gilbert Melki) and must escape all number of attempts on his life if he is to make it to Hong Kong in time to prevent a hostile takeover, diffuse an internal power struggle and discover the truth behind his father’s untimely death.
