Summary, Etc. "High school junior Felix Ma wants to prove to his parents that he's not a quitter. After crashing out of piano lessons and competitive Ping-Pong, Felix starts a film club at his school in a last-ditch attempt to find a star extracurricular for his college applications. Then he meets Cassie Chow, a bubbly high school senior who shares Felix's anxieties about the future and a compicated relationship with parental expectations. Felix feels drawn to Cassie for reasons he can't quite articulate, so as an excuse to see her more, he invites Cassie to star in his short film. The project starts out as a lighthearted mockumentary. But at the urging of Felix's college admissions coach, who wants to turn the film into essay material, it soon morphs into a serious drama about hte emotional scars that parents leave on their kids. As Felix and Cassie uncover their most painful memories, Cassie starts to balk at opening her wounds for the camera. With his parents and college admissions coach hot on his heels, Felix discovers difficult truths aobut himself and his past -- and must decide whether pleasing his parents is worth losing his closest friend."-- Provided by publisher.
