A playful, visually vibrant coming-of-age fantasy that balances the warmth of identity and belonging against the strangeness of mythological collision.
Average teenager Jin Wang juggles his high school social life with his immigrant home life. When he meets a new foreign student on the first day of the school year, even more worlds collide as Jin is unwittingly entangled in a battle of Chinese mythological gods.
