There's a place in America where rules and laws don't apply. It's called KUNG FU HIGH SCHOOL.
Who you are DOESN'T MATTER
How you dress DOESN'T MATTER
What race you happen to belong to DOESN'T MATTER
Who you have sex with DOESN'T MATTER
What god you pray to DOESN'T MATTER
Only one thing matters at KFHS and it's a question you have to ask yourself: if nothing else mattered could you pound another human being into submission just to survive?
In a world where life or death choices are daily occurrences pain is unavoidable and consequences permanent.
15-year-old Jen and her classmates must fight for survival.
Be taken right up to the edge of the unbearable and beyond as KUNG FU HIGH SCHOOL spells out the last dying breath of the American Dream - right before stamping on its throat.
