“You say things must change, but I ask you: What if they made your identity disappear?”
In Chinatown, a trio of elderly rebels rise to protect their community from extinction. None too pleased with yet another hipster coffee shop gentrifying their neighbourhood, they deal with the invaders the best way they know how: sabotage! Things take a turn when a certain someone joins forces with the coffee shop to make it more successful. Betrayal? Perhaps. Sabotage? More.
