A light-hearted action flick | Mild-mannered Tongan entrepreneur, Fritz (Uli Latukefu, recently cast as a young Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in his upcoming comedy series) returns to the home where he spent his youth growing up in the shadow of his wrestling superstar father, Baron To’a. But upon his arrival, Fritz is dismayed to discover that in the years since he left, an unruly gang has moved into the cul-de-sac and run roughshod over the entire community. When those punks steal the prized championship belt of Baron To’a, it’s up to Fritz to take back the neighborhood and reclaim his father’s legacy. (In English and Tongan, with English subtitles)
