Ryan Jeffers is a typical kid who dreams of being the star quarterback of the football team and hanging out with the popular crowd at school. His friend Ming, a chef in a Chinese restaurant who has an amazing Kung Fu cooking style, gives Ryan a special manuscript to help him find the power within himself. He discovers that the book is more than a gift, it's a passport to an extra-ordinary adventure beyond his wildest imagination. Ryan is transported to the land of Tao, a mystical place where turquoise waterfalls cascade over fantastic foliage like nothing he has ever seen. Its inhabitants are a mix of humanoids and strange animal-like creatures. They are all protected by the "Roo-Warriors" who harness the forces of nature in their battle against evil and embody the five classic virtues. Ryan and the Roo Warriors must join forces in order to save Tao.
