Despite her family's worries, she's resolved to carve her own path, a decision that leads her into an unexpected adventure. Visiting a local fortune teller, Grandma is promised a day of extraordinary luck. Emboldened by this prophecy, she plunges headfirst into the shimmering allure of the casino world, gambling away her life's savings. Just when it seems like luck has abandoned her, an unforeseen twist of fate occurs on her bus ride home when she finds herself sitting next to a man who abruptly expires, leaving behind a bag brimming with US dollar bills. Seizing the opportunity, Grandma absconds with the money, hoping her luck has finally turned. However, the windfall proves to be a double-edged sword as the cash is tied to the dangerous underbelly of New York's Chinese mob.
