It's the late `60s. The Vietnam War is raging. It's time for sex, drugs, rock `n' roll and for the youth of America to stretch the bounds of personal discovery and adventure. But, all Mariana Wong wants is a chance to grow up outside the confines of her family's old-fashioned Chinese ways. Mari's opportunity arrives in the form of a solo trip away from home to celebrate her graduation from high school. Timid and shy at first, and way too aware of her Chinese traditions, Mari's life radically changes after a chance encounter on the southbound train with her high school crush, Davey Whitaker. With Davey at her side, Mari's trip turns into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure as she learns the value of independence, the importance of tradition and the ups and downs of falling in love.
