Casey Han is a strong-willed, Queens-bred daughter of Korean immigrants immersed in a glamorous Manhattan lifestyle she can't afford. When a chance encounter with an old friend lands her a new opportunity, she's determined to make her way in a glittering world of privilege, power, and wealth - but at what cost?
This sharp-eyed epic exposes the intricate layers of a community clinging to its old ways - a portrait of intergenerational strife, immigrant struggle, and social and economic mobility - set against the glimmering backdrop of late-twentieth-century New York City.
