Here's the official synopsis: "Unlike the other monkeys who live nearby, Monkey is born from a large rock. He looks different from everyone else, and he is different from everyone else — he’s imbued with magical powers. Unfortunately for him, his brazenness in the face of danger causes him to be cast out by his elders and peers. Years later, as a quippy adolescent, Monkey is determined to become an immortal king — which involves stealing a magical weapon from the dangerous Dragon King and defeating dozens of demons of all shapes and sizes. During his epic quest, he meets a humble peasant named Lin, who challenges him to become the best version of himself."
