Life gets
turned upside down for Bay Area teens Kimberlee and Aimee when
their father loses his job and relocates the family to
Bakersfield. Suddenly, Kimberlee and Aimee are two of only a
handful of Asian American kids at their school. In episode
one, Kimberlee quickly makes friends with a street-smart
outcast named Tisa, but the new friendship is strained when
three “popular” girls take Kimberlee under their wing.
Meanwhile, Aimee puts on a brave face for the sake of the
family, but shares the cause of her secret suffering with her
peculiar, mixed-race cousin, Phil.
