In the 1980s, at their peak 90% of all Donut shops in California were run by Cambodians, How you might ask? Even Dunkin Donuts didn't stand a chance
Cambodian refugee Ted Ngoy builds a multi million dollar empire by baking America's favorite pastry - the donut.
But the story is much more than just that.
The story shows Ted living the American dream but behind that was escaping Genocide, being dirt poor, fighting for his love, marrying his love, sponsoring Cambodian refugees and setting them up with the Donut business and than the dark side of his gambling addiction and losing it all.
