On the precipice of Y2K unpaid intern Lily Chen is attempting to live the American dream in New York City. But her scientist parents imagined so much more for her when they fled Mao's cultural revolution hoping for a better life. Despite the glamour of her media job Lily can barely make rent - until she falls into the arms of Matthew. This young financier can give her a fairy tale life of luxury and for the first time her dreams appear within reach. High school student Nick Chen and his best friend Timothy are plotting to break free. College promises escape from an isolated and close-knit island in Washington State space from his strict and secretive mum Lily and the chance to finally fit in.
