When reformed gambler Lucky falls victim to a tax scam, he returns to playing poker to make the money back. Meanwhile, his family tries to make ends meet by resorting to their own morally dubious strategies. Lucky Star is a family drama about fatherly love, deceit, and redemption, and a slice of life from the Chinese-prairie diaspora.

3/5

McKercher pioneers a salt-of-the-earth drama – devoid of overblown melodrama, imaginative fantasy, or otherwise – about Chinese Canadian diaspora, in a way rarely seen before.
