Kick the Moon is a story about two high school kids from a tiny city. One is a fighter who is embroiled in a legendary street brawl with a rival school; the other is a nerdy wimp who prefers to study and is one of the few pupils who does not join in the brawl. Years later, the punk has evolved into a teacher at the high school where he went, while the nerd has developed into a mafia underboss and has returned to his hometown to establish operations. The film centers on the two men's struggle for the affections of a local lady restaurant owner, as well as the conflict between competing gang factions in the small town.
