Set in 1976 San Francisco, Ivy Ling (Nina Lu, BUNK'D) is a 10-year-old Chinese-American girl who struggles with finding a balance between her two cultural identities: Chinese and American. With her family's Chinese traditions and obligations, she wishes to be like her all-American best friend, Julie Albright (Hannah Nordberg, General Hospital).

The special also stars Gwendoline Yeo (American Crime) and Lance Lim (School of Rock).
