Chinksta rap is all the rage in Red Deer, Alberta. And the king of Chinksta is King Kwong, Run's older brother. Run isn't a fan of Kwong's music — or personality, really. But when Kwong goes missing just days before his crowning performance and their mom gets wounded by a stray bullet, Run finds himself, with his sidekick, Ali, in the middle of a violent battle between Red Deer's rival gangs — the Apes and the Necks — on the run from his crush's behemoth brother, and rethinking his feelings about his family and their history, his hatred of rice-rap and what it means to be Asian.
