A warm, character-driven comedy-drama about a young Chinese-Canadian woman navigating the tensions between family duty and personal desire, anchored by humor and genuine affection.

Jade Li is a feisty, 20-something Chinese Canadian, trying to achieve that happy medium between giving in to her parent's wishes and fulfilling her own needs and desires - double happiness. Naturally, something's got to give and when love beckons in the shape of Mark, a white university student, the facade of the perfect Chinese daughter begins to slip.
