The narrative centers around The Kims, a Korean-Canadian family operating a convenience store in the heart of Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. Kim, affectionately known as ‘Appa’ and ‘Umma,’ moved to Toronto in the 1980s to establish their business near Regent Park. They have two children, Jung and Janet, who are now in their early adulthood. A significant rift occurred when Jung was 16, leading to a physical altercation, a theft incident, and Jung’s departure from home. Since then, the relationship between father and son has been strained and distant.
