Wai-Tung and his boyfriend live happily as a gay couple in New York City. Wai-Tung has not been open about his sexuality with his Taiwanese parents, and decides to acquiesce to their wish for a traditional Chinese union by marrying Wei-Wei, a struggling artist desperate for a green card. But the simple arrangement turns into a lavish debacle when Wai-Tung's parents plan an extravagant wedding banquet.
