Kung Fu Deadly interview
About: Danny and Frank, childhood best friends with mild boundary issues, are eking out a living in Dublin with their haphazardly run extermination company when they come across a group of Chinese criminals attempting to unleash a Jiangshi on the city with the Taoist guardian, Lien, currently hunting them. Lien quickly uncovers the fact that Danny is, by lineage, the other guardian that should be helping her; a fact he is blissfully unaware of in the tedium of his life.
From deciding whether to hang up his branded coveralls and sell his childhood home to being tasked with protecting humanity, Danny’s life is at a major crossroads and Frank is along for the ride. The unlikely trio, as well as Danny and Frank’s auntie, set out to discover the truth about Danny’s father and the criminals spreading this evil, while convincing and training Danny to accept his destiny.
