A scrappy, character-driven comedy-crime romp centered on a feisty elderly woman navigating Chinatown's underworld with irreverent humor and unexpected heart.

In New York City's Chinatown, an ornery, chain-smoking Chinese grandma goes all in at the casino, landing herself on the wrong side of luck — and in the middle of a gang war.
