Ambitious New York attorney Sam (Daniel Henney of TV's THREE RIVERS, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE) is transferred to Shanghai on assignment, partially because he's Chinese-American. A fish-out-of-water, he stumbles into a legal mess that could spell the end of his career. With help from a beautiful relocation specialist (Eliza Coupe of TV's HAPPY ENDINGS, TV's SCRUBS), a well-connected foreign businessman (Bill Paxton of TV's HATFIELDS & MCCOYS, TWISTER), a clever but unassuming journalist (Geng Lee), and a street-smart assistant (Zhu Zhu of CLOUD ATLAS), Sam might just save his job, discover romance, and learn to appreciate the many wonders Shanghai has to offer. Also starring Alan Ruck (TV's SPIN CITY, FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF).
