Twelve-year-old Dre Parker could’ve been the most popular

Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying, but cultural differences
make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre’s feelings make an enemy
of the class bully and kung fu prodigy, Cheng. With no friends in a strange
land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han, who is secretly a
master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and
parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies
will be the fight of his life.
