New York decides to spend millions of dollars and years investigating a small bank in Chinatown for mortgage fraud. However, the family-owned bank decides to stand up for itself against impossible odds. By the end it becomes apparent the state was just looking for a scapegoat for the "financial crisis" and thought it had an easy target. The in-depth documentary explores how cultural differences may have played a role in the bank's lending practices that the law does not necessarily acknowledge.
