Suchi and Haiwen first meet as children in Shanghai, where their friendship blossoms into love. But when Haiwen joins the Nationalist army in 1947, their dream of a shared future is shattered.
Sixty years later they run into each other at a grocery store in Los Angeles. To Haiwen, it feels like a second chance, but Suchi has only survived by refusing to look back. In the twilight of their lives, can they reclaim their past and the love they lost?
