[edit] Plot summary
Grace Tang (Fay Ann Lee) is an upwardly mobile investment banker from New York’s Chinatown who wants more than anything to be part of the upper class socialite world. When she finally gets invited to an exclusive junior committee meet & greet, Grace is mistaken for an heiress from Hong Kong. Having never felt more special or included, Grace decides to run with her new identity. Her white lie grows more complicated when she falls for Andrew Barrington, Jr. (Gale Harold), one of the most eligible bachelors of New York City, whose mission is to close down sweatshops in Chinatown, starting with the one that Grace’s mother happens to work in.
