Protégé (2007): Cast, Box Office & Plot

Nick, Daniel Wu, is an undercover officer who spends seven years sinking into the core of a dangerous drug network. He begins as a street-level dealer and steadily climbs to a managerial role that handles cargo deliveries for Kwan, the biggest player in the local heroin trade. When the ailing Kwan elevates him to protégé, Nick can’t resist the lure of money and power and starts to operate with the same ruthlessness he’s supposed to uncover. This slippery ascent is intensified by his growing affair with Fan, a heroin addict, which pulls him deeper into a world where loyalties blur and danger feels personal.
