Starting to self-harm, Chloe, a jaded lonely young Chinese American girl, resents her absent workaholic mother who always leaves her to her Butler. One day, she learns a valuable lesson from a wheel-chaired boy at a flower shop, Ethan, who lives with his grandmother and runs a loving flower shop for all disabled kids in the neighborhood.
