As teenagers, kung fu disciples Danny (Alain Uy), Hing (Ron Yuan) and Jim (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) were inseparable. Fast forward 25 years, and each has grown into a washed-up middle-aged man seemingly one kick away from pulling a hamstring—and not at all preoccupied with thoughts of martial arts or childhood best friends. But when their old master is murdered, the trio reunites, soon learning that avenging their sifu will require conquering old grudges (and a dangerous hitman still armed with ample knee cartilage) if they are to honorably defend his legacy.

Glasses. Joggers. Vapes. As a millennial vlogger, Brian has everything... except happiness. All his life he wanted to work in news, but his spirit has been broken by too many listicles. Recently passed over for a promotion, Brian Emond is begrudgingly sent on another waste of his time: Bigfoot. In order to write this latest masterpiece (“Is the term Bigfoot offensive towards amputees?”) Brian must trade Brooklyn for the mountains of North Georgia. Guided by cryptid-rockstar Jeffrey Stephenson, Brian embarks on an overnight research expedition where he sees something that can’t be explained. Faced with his own mysterious sighting, Brian discovers that maybe for the first time in his career, this story could be real. What started out as a wild goose chase for Bigfoot becomes the story of a lifetime.
