He frequently goes to the pawn shop of Old Hop to buy Chinese movies; while snooping the store, he sees an ancient staff in the deposit.

While walking back home, Jason is forced by a gang of punks lead by Lupo to return to the pawn shop and lure Old Hop to open the door. The criminals break in the shop and Lupo shoots Old Hop, not before he orders Jason to run with the staff. En route Jason falls from the roof of a building and awakes in ancient China with the staff. Soon he befriends the drunken immortal Lu Yan who tells him the story of the Monkey King, who was lured by the evil Jade Warlord and turned into stone.
