- Summary: Maps the adolescent Chinese-American experience through three separate but interwoven stories. One story centres on Jin Wang, a Chinese-American student at an all-white California high school. Next is a comic update of the legendary story of the Monkey King. Finally, there's the stereotype of Chin-Kee, the ultimate negative Chinese cliche.
