SYNOPSIS: This story takes place over three decades in New York and China and explores American life from three unique perspectives: Chinese-born engineer Tony who was forced to become a doorman after immigrating to New York, Tammy who yearns for self-discovery as a first-generation American, and white lawyer Oliver who must deal with his family’s troubled past. An unexpected act of violence brings these three characters together and allows them to discover new revelations about each other’s culture and learn to embrace love over ignorance.
