David Huang and David Ma, two twenty-something Chinatown coin dealers attempt to buy a rare gold coin from an elderly lady at an all-too low price. Along the way, they encounter an eclectic cast of characters as they attempt to raise the money to purchase the coin, and realize they’ve bitten off a little more than the can chew.
