The story follows three siblings—Feng-Li, her older brother, and sister—who are left to navigate life in California after their parents return to Taiwan. As undocumented immigrants, they face challenges such as starting a new school, learning a new language, and managing a household on their own. The narrative is inspired by Tang's own experiences as a "parachute kid," a term used for children sent to live abroad while their parents remain in their home country.
