Synopsis:
Two star-crossed teenagers fall in love during the 2019 Hong Kong protests in this searing
contemporary debut about coming of age in a time of change.
Sixteen-year-old Phoenix knows her parents have invested thousands of dollars to help her leave
Hong Kong and get an elite Ivy League education. They think America means big status, big dreams,
and big bank accounts. But Phoenix doesn’t want big; she just wants home. The trouble is, she
doesn’t know where that is… until the Hong Kong protest movement unfolds, and she learns the city
she’s come to love is in danger of disappearing.
Seventeen-year-old Kai sees himself as an artist, not a filial son, and certainly not a cop. But when his
mother dies, he’s forced to leave Shanghai to reunite with his estranged father, a respected police
officer, who’s already enrolled him in the Hong Kong police academy. Kai wants to hate his job, but
instead, he finds himself craving his father’s approval. And when he accidentally swaps phones with
Phoenix and discovers she’s part of a protest network, he finds a way to earn it: by infiltrating the
group and reporting their plans back to the police.
As Kai and Phoenix join the struggle for the future of Hong Kong, a spark forms between them,
pulling them together even as their two worlds try to force them apart. But when their relationship
is built on secrets and deception, will they still love the person left behind when the lies fall away?
Content Warning: grief over death of a parent, police brutality, political unrest
