April 30, 1992: the day after a jury returned not guilty verdicts for four police officers in the beating of Rodney King. Protests in Los Angeles have spread into a city-wide riot. People are being killed. Korean-owned businesses, like Dean's uncle Jun's store, are being looted and burned. A gangbanger is using the cover of the riots to take over Koreatown businesses like Jun's by any means necessary. For three days, Dean, Jun, and Ron, a homeless Gulf War veteran, hole up in Jun's store and fight to stay alive in the center of the deadliest civil disturbance in U.S. history.
