The novel explores American identity, class, race, and family across three generations, following a Chinese-American family from the late 1990s to the 2020s. The story begins with Lily Chen meeting Matthew, the heir to a pharmaceutical fortune, and unfolds through a major family secret involving genetic editing that impacts their son, Nick, who later seeks to uncover his origins. It's a multi-generational saga that questions destiny, inheritance, and what it means to be American.
