The book explores the mind of a young girl named Jen who, along with her brother Cue and legendary martial artist cousin, Jimmy Chang, attends Kung Fu High School, where a powerful drug kingpin named Ridley pits all students against each other in order to maintain control over his corrupt business he runs using the students he controls.

Jimmy Chang, just having come from the most prestigious martial arts academy in Hong Kong with a record of 2,412 wins and zero losses and no hits scored on him on all of his tournaments, is pulled into the mess that is Kung Fu High School, and Jen's life.

However, due to the notorious Ridley's drug trafficking through the school, it has become a rundown war zone for both his workers and those who despise him.

The story starts off with Jen living an already irregular life, having to literally put on armor before going to school.

One day Jen's long-lost cousin Jimmy Chang arrives at her front door, sent by her late mother's sister.
