A lighthearted, ensemble-driven comedy about neighborhood rivalry and redemption set during Chinese New Year in Hong Kong, built on playful competition and found community.

Kung and Kin's rivalry goes way back to the seventies when they fought over the same girl, who eventually became Kung's wife. Now they run competing phone stores right across from each other on Mongkok's busiest street, and stretch their minds trying to outdo each other with crazy promotions.
