Synopsis: | Set in Manhattan, this animated comedy/adventure series tells the story of 13-year-old skateboarder Jake Long, a Chinese-American boy who must balance ordinary adolescent transformation with a very cool secret... he is a descendent of dragons, the Chinese culture's ultimate representation of excellence and the forces of Mother Nature. When he eventually unlocks his full potential as the American Dragon, he will easily overcome obstacles, but as his ordinary self, Jake Long can't conquer his crush on pretty blonde schoolmate Rose who, unbeknownst to Jake, has an amazing secret of her own... she's a dragon slayer. Jake navigates the city with fellow skateboarders Trixie and Spud, and when he gets home, it's to an extended family: a businessman dad originally from the Midwest who doesn't know he's married into a family of dragons, Jake's Chinese mom, his grandfather (who recently immigrated to train his grandson in the ways of the ancient dragon), younger sister Haley (a nascent dragon) and Grandpa's gruff sidekick, a magical Shar-pei named Fu-Dog.
