Ever is a Chinese-American teenager who has plans of becoming a dancer. Her parents have loftier goals for her. So, they send her to a 8 week “educational camp” in Taipei for the purpose of learning culture and language. The camp is not nearly as strict as they were told. Everyone is very laissez-faire about the rules and pretty much do whatever they want. The girls are all boy crazy — the boys are there to score a hot girl. All that freedom combined with a little too little supervision and a lot of peer pressure makes for an interesting yet typical coming of age story.
