Description
When a Chinese American entrepreneur loses his fortune in the financial crisis, he gathers his children and young wife for an impulsive cross-country journey from California to New York. Their travels bring together an aspiring comedian, a fashion-conscious daughter, and an estranged eldest sibling whose fall from the art world has left her seeking refuge. As the family navigates mishaps, old resentments, cultural tensions, and competing visions of the future, they are forced to reconsider what prosperity and belonging truly mean. Witty, warm, and sharply observant, this vibrant debut explores family, identity, immigration, and the fragile promises of the American dream.
