It's Chinese New Year – dancing lions, dragons, blood red firecrackers, and a beast called Nian. But 10 year old Clancy is tired. Every Saturday he has to go to Chinese school, and it sucks. He can't speak chinese, and his mum can't speak English. All she wants is her only child to speak Chinese, but Clancy just wants to be like Sam, the cool kid at school. In an act of rebellion, Clancy steals a firecracker from school to impress Sam and his friends, but he soon discovers that it will take all of his courage to discover who it is he really wants to be.
