"Start-Up" plunges into the tumultuous lives of two young men on their journey to adulthood. One recklessly abandons his mother's college aspirations, leaving home to find his own way. He unexpectedly lands a job as a delivery man for a bustling Chinese restaurant in an unfamiliar neighborhood. There, he encounters a vibrant community, including an experienced chef and a determined boxer, who broaden his understanding of life's diverse paths.

Concurrently, his friend ventures into the lucrative, yet perilous, private loan business. What initially promises easy wealth quickly devolves into a challenging and painful ordeal as he confronts unforeseen obstacles and consequences. Both protagonists, navigating their stormy coming-of-age periods, face the harsh realities of a world that persistently defies their expectations.
