We Are Kings

Two best friends, Lin and Walid, pirate DVDs at Lin’s mom’s Chinese restaurant. Lin’s crush, Amber, walks in and Lin, embarrassed that his mother is a waitress, awkwardly navigates around Amber’s probing. Unexpectedly, Amber pulls Lin out of the restaurant to go for a drive. Lin leaves Walid and his mother behind and finds himself on a ride that he’s not ready for.
