2002, Toronto – 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian Meilin “Mei” Lee (Rosalie Chang) narrates about how one must honor their parents because of what they do for their children, so she has felt that she has to do whatever they want. As a result, Mei is incredibly talented in her schoolwork, even if some of her peers think she is weird and annoying.
Mei hangs out with her best friends, laidback Miriam (Ava Morse), deadpan Priya (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), and hyperactive Abby (Hyein Park). They stop at a convenience store where Miriam, Priya, and Abby fawn over the clerk, Devon (Addie Chandler), but Mei doesn’t see the big deal. She brings up 4*Town, the boy band they are obsessed with, which consists of Robaire (Jordan Fisher), Jesse (Finneas O’Connell), Tae Young (Grayson Villanueva), Aaron T (Josh Levi), and Aaron Z (Topher Ngo). When the girls want to hang out, Mei says she has to go home and help clean, and her friends point out that she spends too much time doing what her mom wants.
