Williams are a middle-aged, African-American couple who, twenty-some
years ago, adopted two orphaned Vietnamese kids. Despite their
tumultuous early years, Mai and Dwayne are now generally well-adjusted
young adults, with Mai being married to Vinh and Dwayne hoping
to propose to his nurse girlfriend, Nina.
The happily family scene is disrupted, however, when Mai announces
that she's located their biological mother, Thanh, and is
bringing her over to the States. While Mai is happy to have
her real mother back in her life, Dolores is hurt by the woman's
presence as is Dwayne who must put up with this stranger living
with him and his roommate, Michael, who's dating Samantha,
a male transvestite. With Thanh's presence putting a strain
on the many relationships within the Williams clan, Dwayne
must figure out his true cultural identity, whether he can
accept his biological mother into his life, and how all of
that affects his engagement to Nina.
