It seems that millennials are never short of a quarter life crisis. Nicky Shen's leads her to abandon her plans of attending law school, instead embarking on a life-changing journey to the Shaolin Monastery in China where she hones her martial arts skills.
Upon her return to San Francisco, she finds her hometown overrun with crime and corruption, all at the hands of Chinese organized crime group, the Triad. What's more, her Shaolin mentor has been murdered, and the assassin now appears to be targeting Nicky. Really, she'd likely have been better off riding out her 'quarter life crisis' and staying in school...
Utilising her martial arts skills and the Shaolin values, Nicky seeks to protect her community, all while juggling her own personal issues and estranged family members.
It sounds like a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. That said, with a predominantly Asian-American cast, it's a promising step in the right direction for more diverse, representative TV shows and movies in the industry - as long as Kung Fu doesn't pray too heavily on stereotypes, that is.
