The Paper Tigers

As teens, friends Danny (Alain Uy), Hing (Ron Yuan) and Jim (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) were inseparable. Loyal disciples to their Sifu, Master Cheung (Roger Yuan), they trained together, fought together and planned to become the next great martial arts masters. Life, as they say, has other plans, and when Danny left to take part in a tournament in Japan, the three friends drifted apart. Now, nearly 30 years later, tragedy brings them back together. Sifu has been killed, and the three friends, now strangers, reunite to fulfill their promise to him and catch his killer. They're older, not exactly wiser, and their bodies are definitely not in the same condition as before, but they're about to discover they still haven't learned everything martial arts – and friendship – can teach them.
