SUCKER tells the story of two Chinese-American brothers as they navigate their day in their hometown of Flushing ‘Chinatown’ in Queens, New York. After Andy loses his job at a valet parking lot, he must find a way to take care of his little brother, Tom Tom. Andy is confronted with the realities of being a caretaker, and must decide if his personal fantasies for his ideal future are worth sacrificing to provide a better, more grounded life for his little brother. Together, Andy and Tom Tom are the embodiment of a cultural dysphoria found today.
