After the 2024 USA Presidential Election, Briseis Cunningham, a young woman, wonders and worries about the future of her country. All while this occurs, she is confronting her romantic affections for a man from whole different side of the world.
There are three things that I know about myself:
1. I am a woman of no importance at all.
2. I am a woman who, one day, fell in love with the least likely person.
3. I am a woman who faced the worst aspects of herself—and vows to never go back.
Briseis Cunningham—plain and ordinary!
After the 2024 Presidential Election, Briseis, a patriotic tour guide, felt like she wanted to take a tour of her own city of Philadelphia, looking for resolution in the past. While sitting on the tour bus, she has flashbacks of the last three summers, and what was occurring in her country at the time. Weighted down by the worries of the choice her nation just made, she undergoes a great deal of soul searching.
Beginning with one summer, in 2022, she accepts a job, working at the Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival. While there, she meets all the talented performers, but one stands out the most: Jin Chang, a Face Changer.
From there, it all begins!
