As the world turns, the lives of several men change. Some chase criminals in the name of justice, some approach the ceremony of holy matrimony, some have apparent metabolic disorders, and some even die. The one thing in common, however, between all of these lost souls is a time in which the world made sense under the strict order of Chairman John in the fun, but highly disciplined card game "Mao." After seeing the destitute and questionable condition of his former chairman, Tom must reunite the game and restore order to the world. Restore order to his friends. Restore order... to Mao.
