Xiao Gui never believed what the villagers said about his family name Gui or Ghost being unlucky. After his mother disappeared, he thought maybe they were right. A chance to live and study kung fu at Shaolin Temple could be a way of changing his fate. It will require extraordinary strength and determination. Will he be able to change his life if he masters the kung fu at the 1500-year-old temple of Shaolin?
