In New York City's Chinatown, when a local fortune teller (Wai Ching Boss) predicts a most auspicious day in her future, a Chinese grandma (Tsai Chin) goes all in at the casino suddenly attracting the attention of some local gangsters. Desperate to protect herself, Grandma employs the services of a bodyguard from a rival gang (Corey Ha) and soon finds herself right in the middle of a Chinatown gang war.

Director Sasie Sealy brings to life a dark comedy about immigrant life, the vulnerabilities of aging and an unexpected friendship.
