May 1998: Mimi Traung and her baby daughter wait restlessly at the gates of Philadelphia airport. While they prepare to board their flight to Vietnam, the unimaginable happens.

Seventeen years later in the quiet suburbs of Chestnut Hill, two best friends in search of their roots discuss their summer plans. Sabrina is preparing to travel to China to meet her mother’s family while Kit leaves for Tokyo, convinced that her biological mother is Japanese.

Each of these women are looking to find their place in the world. Eventually, Mimi, Kit and Sabrina come face to face, forced to confront the people they truly are, dismantling their own assumptions about belonging and the importance of blood ties.
