Frank Li has two names. The American's name is Frank Li, the Korean's Sung-Min Li. No one calls her by her Korean name, not even her parents. Frank barely speaks Korean. Born and raised in Southern California.
However, his parents expect him to marry a nice Korean girl. This is a problem, because Frank is finally dating his dream girlfriend: Brit Means. With Brit, who is just as funny and funny as he is. Brittel, who can make you laugh better than anyone. Brittel, who is... white.
Frank falls in love for the first time in his life and has to face the fact that although his parents have sacrificed everything to raise him in the land of opportunity, traditional expectations prevent him from being an ordinary American teenager. Desperate to be with Brit without her parents finding out, Frank turns to a family friend, Joy Song, who has a similar problem. They come up with a plan so they can help each other and their parents won't be breathing down their necks either. Frank thinks all his problems are solved, but then something happens that makes him wonder if he knew anything about love or even himself.
