Suppressing their homosexuality due to social pressure, forced into marriages neither wants, they long for true love and freedom. Can they escape China, flee overseas?

Set against the backdrop of the Cultural Revolution, the collapse of apartheid in South Africa, the never-ending global tides of immigration, and Canada's paradoxical attitude toward newcomers, Xiao Wei's story is one of love, loss, and perseverance in the face of incredible adversity.
