In 1969, sisters Trang and Quynh leave their rural village and become "bar girls" in Sài Gòn, drinking, flirting with American GIs in return for money. Decades later, an American veteran, Dan, returns to Viêt Nam to reckon with secrets from his past. At the same time, Phong - the son of a Black American soldier and a Vietnamese woman - embarks on a search to find both his parents. Past and present converge as these characters' decisions force them to look deep within and find common ground across race, generation, culture, and language.
