A warm, comedic ensemble story about misfits and dreamers rallying around a struggling stunt school, grounded in genuine affection for its characters and their underdog aspirations.

In Singapore, a stuntman teams up with his brother and ex-sister-in-law to keep their declining stunt school alive. Just as their dream seems about to fade, a rumour that Marvel Studios is scouting locally brings a surge of wannabe superheroes and misfits to their doorstep, convinced they’ll be whipped into crime-fighting shape.
