Leaf follows multiple protagonists as they navigate the ripple effects of past choices on their present lives. This complex, intersecting narrative centers on first-generation Chinese Americans forging their own paths. There is David Shia, an aspiring entrepreneur struggling to escape the shadow of his family's history while chasing a seemingly unattainable love, Cindy Que.
A decade later, the vantage point shifts to Michael Shie, a rising NBA player who finds himself cross paths with David's former love interest on a bustling movie set. Braiding these timelines together is James Xie, a brilliant health sciences innovator who has engineered a revolutionary nanotechnology designed to heal brain illnesses. As this groundbreaking science deploys, it binds these three men together in ways none of them could have ever anticipated.
