Description
In the tumultuous 1930s, two sisters, May and Pearl, are thrust from their privileged Shanghai life into a new world when their father sells them to suitors in California. Arriving in Los Angeles, they must navigate the complexities of a foreign land, grappling with prejudice and the stark realities of their new circumstances. As they strive to adapt to American customs while clinging to their heritage, a profound secret emerges that will irrevocably alter their destinies and test the bonds of sisterhood.
