SYNOPSIS
Judy is a temperamental teenager in her senior year of high school in New York City. Growing up as a second generation girl in an immigrant household, her life revolves around her rugged mom (Vanessa Kai) and gamer brother (Leonard Wu) and mainly keeps to herself by way of journaling. With a chance encounter through cheating in Chinese School, she develops an unlikely friendship with Chinatown's Queen Bee Jessie (Cindy Chu). She begins to explore her place in Jessie's friend circle, gets acquainted with Jake (Curtis Lum), the "it" boy of the group, and her own womanhood. As she digs deeper to straddle between her home life, her uncertainty in the friend group, and her future, she wonders if she should stay in New York City for college, or if she should leave home to start anew?
