Growing up in an unconventional single parent Asian household, John had his life paved out for him - or so he thought. Competitive, devoid of romance, and even selfish in some ways, John has always focused on reaching to be the best to satisfy his inner ego. When his wife is suddenly faced with a life or death situation, however, John is thrust into navigating through unfamiliar territory in order to discover what it truly means to be alive. Faced with unforeseen dilemmas, he must choose between truth and lies, love and selfish gains, as well as shattering the innocence of his kids. Just how far will he go before things unravel?
