About this episode
The episode explores the summer of 1997 as two high school friends navigate survival and identity through a daring plan and a tense showdown.
In the summer of 1997, survival was a game of wits for Dean and Kwan, two high school friends navigating life on the edge. For Kwan, inspired by the gritty underworld of Hong Kong’s Young and Dangerous , survival meant more than just bending rules—it meant carrying a secret weapon: a wrist knife he flaunted with reckless pride. When a daring plan to sneak onto a bus spirals into a tense showdown with two mocking girls, Kwan sees an opportunity to prove his dominance. But in a battle of words and bravado, can his two-inch blade hold up against cutting wit and the laughter of a crowd?
