Aishe, a Uyghur woman trained by her military father, migrates to New York City where she finds herself laboring in Chinatown’s underground kitchens. She fatefully encounters Skinner, a young American soldier who has just returned from three tours in the Middle East. While falling in love, they discover the possibility of a better life together than the ones they believed they were destined to live alone.
Steam rises from Chinatown's cramped, subterranean kitchens to meet the heavy silence of a soldier's post-war exhaustion. Amidst the clatter of industrial stoves, two displaced souls find a fragile connection that defies their fractured histories.
