Peter Wong attends the prestigious New York High School. He loves his family, his friends, and his favorite science teacher, Mr. Jackson. When Mr. Jackson is almost killed, Peter and the rest of his friends seek revenge not knowing they’re going up against villains with international clout, including security guard Schwartz, a former CIA agent with mob connections. While on the hunt for Mr. Jackson’s attacker, Peter also deals with difficulties at home as his sister fights cancer. In the midst of this chaos, Peter learns his brother Chen, presumed dead, is actually alive in China.
