MING (40s) and LINDA (40s) are told that UNCLE SENG (70s) has passed away, leaving his noodle shop behind. Seeing this as a new start, they move in, along with their reluctant son CALVIN (16), to take over the business.
Calvin attends a new school, where he meets LONNIE (16), a comic book enthusiast, whose father JED (40s) is a regular at the noodle shop, and owns a gun store. Other students at the school also include BUDDY (17), CALEB (17), and AMENA (17).
Buddy, who is part of the Varsity team, has a tumultuous relationship with his father LOGAN (40s), who can be drunk and abusive, while his wife DOLLY (late 30s) is often the subject of his abuse.
Lonnie brings Calvin to meet Jed, who shows them around the gun shop. Calvin becomes interested in learning how to shoot. Meanwhile, Caleb has a bad game, and Logan berates him in the parking lot.
Calvin expresses his interest in learning how to shoot, but Linda says no. After some convincing, Linda agrees to one lesson. Calvin then shows interest in working at the shop, as they are looking for help. Linda is again against it, due to the noodle shop being busy.
Elsewhere, Amena...
