Synopsis
In Markham, a multi-ethnic cluster in Canada, a Chinese immigrant and a small-time crook’s attempt to rob a Japanese restaurant goes terribly wrong. Unsuspectingly taking up the two fleeing gangsters and a Hong Kong influencer in a carpool, a black Uber driver is entangled in a sinister predicament larger than their language barriers. Meanwhile, the influencer is ushered into the dark side of local history while searching for a luxury home. A tripartite film with interlocking stories, this black comedy takes a satirical look at the absurdity faced by Chinese immigrants.
