As they grapple with the pressures of life, career aspirations, and their cultural identity, they embark on a quest to establish a successful baking business. Along the way, they face financial obstacles, personal conflicts, and societal expectations. Their friendship is tested as they learn valuable lessons about resilience, ambition, and the importance of community. Through humor and heart, "Dough Boys" paints a vivid picture of youth, dreams, and the pursuit of happiness against the backdrop of a vibrant city.
