About Lucky
Chinatown gang leader “Lucky” Louie is shot outside of a Chinatown off track betting establishment on the thirteenth of January, laying in a coma for 88 days, and awakens on Easter Sunday. The number 88 is a double-helix, double-lucky Chinese number; religion and superstition all lean Lucky’s way. But NYPD Detective Jack Yu, Lucky’s boyhood blood brother, fears his friend’s luck is about to run out. When Lucky embarks on a complex and daring series of crimes against the Chinatown criminal underground, Jack races to stop him before his enemies do so – permanently.
