Abstract:

Escaping Vietnam Tony and Tien, two Amerasian brothers abandoned by their American father, arrive in California to search for a better life. As Tien searches for his father, Tony, embittered by the "American dream," takes refuge in a local gang of Amerasian kids and enters an underground world of drugs and crime in Little Saigon. Bonded by a similar past, this misfit gang ignites a new passion in Tony's life. With Tuan Tran, Christopher Lance, Christopher Dalton || "...evokes the explosive intensity and verbal tomfoolery of Mean Streets" (Frako Loden, San Francisco Weekly)."
