When New Yorker Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family powered by the man she hopes to marry. However, Nick has not informed her about several important aspects of his life: his family home resembles a palace, he grew up with more rides in private planes than cars, and he is the country’s most eligible bachelor. Upon arriving in Singapore, Rachel's anticipated quiet vacation transforms into a tumultuous journey filled with challenges posed by old wealth, new wealth, intrusive relatives, and ambitious social climbers.
