A POUND OF FLESH
By Georges S. Salo

GENRE: Action, Crime, Horror, Romance, Thriller
LOGLINE:

A criminal boss exhausts all avenues his wealth provides to save his terminally ill wife. In a last desperate attempt he offers the most valuable items in his possession, his morals and his soul, to the devil for the life of his one and true love.

SYNOPSIS:

A Priest, FATHER LEGRAND, and a NUN give up their life to save those of children in an orphanage's hospital in the Congo, as they believe it is God when in fact it is Lucifer aka LOUIS C. IRONS answering their call of desperation. ISAAC ABRAMOVITZ, an angel, intercedes on their behalf at the final moment and wrenches their souls away from the clutch of the Devil. The Devil undisturbed intends to regain the two souls he had lost. The Devil makes sure that Father LeGrand and the Nun are reincarnated as a married couple that heads a triad.

The criminal boss (LEE HUI HU aka TIGER LEE) saves four children in his younger years that his wife, CHIN MEI YAN, raises as their own. When Tiger Lee discovers that Chin is terminally ill, he pleads for divine intervention; Lucifer answers but on condition. The Devil extorts a price that is so repugnant as to ensure Tiger Lee as his bondservant for eternity with his soul being mere collateral for entering into negotiations. His four adopted children (NIKITA, ARDI, CLARENCE and LI LIANG) help run the triad while Tiger Lee is preoccupied fulfilling the Devil's request. His adopted children proceed with looking after the daily business, which prompts them to take lives. This takes a new turn as it disgusts Tiger Lee who now begins to have second thoughts on the path his life has taken. All the while not realizing that he and Chin were formerly Father LeGrand and the Nun that had escaped the Devil's clutch. Slowly, though, through the Devil's intervention Tiger Lee is brought to that realisation. He is made to understand that their encounter was not a random choice.Can Tiger Lee complete the task no matter how repulsive its nature? And if so can he extricate himself from the Devil's clutch?

Tagline: Hope is the worst of all evils, it prolongs the torments of man.
