Summary |
In Chinatown in 1954, McCarthyism and the Red Scare are very real threats to Lily's family; her father is already at risk of deportation despite his valid citizenship. Chinese American Lily could lose everything just for dating anyone white -- let alone Kathleen Miller -- but she could lose herself if she doesn't risk everything to be true to her feelings. |
