Julia Chamonix is a Eurasian acting student in Manhattan who is unable to enjoy the privileged life she shares with her doting father. Haunted by the tragic death of her mother, who was a star actress and singer in Vietnam, and likewise haunted by a secret desire she has to hide from the world, Julia struggles in her acting studies under renowned coach Igor. Her ambitions to emulate her mother's success are thwarted by her difficulties with the English language. Her only confidante is her wise Vietnamese grandmother, but she doesn't share much, even with her. Meanwhile, Julia begins to experience recurrent nightmares in which she relives the car accident that killed her mother. Caught between two very different cultures, East and West, Julia wonders whether she will ever fit in anywhere.
