In Singapore, school dropout Choo (16) returns to her elite all-girls Chinese school to join the graduating class. Her little acts of rebellion towards her tyrannical teachers attract the admiration of three other misfits—Vanessa, Gina and Sofia. She’s drawn to them too and confides about the ghost in her room. The new friends’ idea: using Sofia’s camcorder to evidence the ghost. The four form an inseparable group, and meet an unlikely kindred spirit—Sofia’s family driver, Uncle Phoon (70). Inspired by his stories about the triad gangs that ruled the streets of colonial Singapore and defied the authorities openly, they decided to form a gang. But how do you form a gang in modern Singapore, where even chewing gum is illegal?
