Galen Chen enrolls at a new school and has trouble fitting in. His home life consists of only himself and Rose, his stay at home immigrant mother, as his father works and lives abroad. Galen’s new school is predominately white and he finds that popularity and acceptance are tied to race. He eventually befriends a Korean- American, Jae, but ultimately Galen discovers that the bar of acceptance keeps getting raised no matter what he does.

This film is an exploration of bullying, identity, and race experienced through an Asian American teenager.
