An African American couple (Winfield and Alice) adopt two orphans from a Vietnamese refugee camp. After 22 years, the children are reunited with their birth mother, bringing deeply submerged resentments and misconceptions to the surface, and forcing the characters to reexamine their identity and relationships in both comical and poignant situations.
