In Singapore, a stuntman teams up with his brother and ex-sister-in-law to keep their declining stunt school alive. Just as their dream seems about to fade, a rumour that Marvel Studios is scouting locally brings a surge of wannabe superheroes and misfits to their doorstep, convinced they’ll be whipped into crime-fighting shape.

Directed by the Singaporean composer Dick Lee himself, this biopic of his youth, covers three years of his life, from his early years as a teenage singer-songwriter up to the release of his debut album in 1947.
