Lucy has just won the equivalent of a lottery - a scholarship to one of the most prestigious girls schools in Australia. Her Vietnamese-Chinese family is thrilled but Lucy is not so sure. For one, she is ashamed of her family’s financial circumstances compared with that of her more well-to-do classmates. Her parents work 24/7, with her mom running a one-woman sweatshop in their garage. Her parents’ inability to speak English means they don’t realize the challenging path Lucy needs to take in trying to fit in at her new school. Initially Lucy is taken under the wing of the most popular girls at school. But, Lucy slowly discovers that being and staying popular has a price - one that she may not be ready to pay.
