Overview
"Yuan immigrated to the United States at sixteen, leaving his life and friends behind. Years later, Yuan is a lawyer, and while attending a party in Manhattan, he reunites with his childhood friend and first love, Chu-Chu, for the first time since he left Taiwan. Seventy-two hours later, Chu-Chu rams her car into the side of the highway in Taipei and passes away. The police report that Chu-Chu had been driving under the influence, but Yuan, propelled by the uneasiness of the conversation that night, is sure that the accident was intentional. At Chu-Chu's funeral in Taipei, Yuan discovers that she had lied to him. Driven by the guilt of not having been able to pick up the signals that night, Yuan decides to investigate what happened after he left for America. As he learns more about ChuChu, he also starts to question some of the choices he's made." -- Abstract
