In a dystopian present, exiled Kung Fu master Big Sister 13 leads a crew of Trans and Queer fighters who reclaim a forgotten zone and transform it into the Martial Forest—a secret training ground where care is as powerful as combat. Together, they fight to survive rising violence and build a future rooted in chosen family and trans resistance.
