At least not until her father decides to cut her off from the money. Delivering his spoiled child an ultimatum, Sasha can either give up her lavish lifestyle and try to make it on her own, or she can return to Shenzhen for a year, and work for her father’s toy company.

Eventually agreeing to her father’s terms, Sasha moves to China and begins working at her father’s factory. There she meets Carol (Lynn Chen), her older half-sister, and several younger siblings, all born from her father’s numerous affairs. Though disgusted by her father, Sasha finds a true friend in Carol and the two half-sisters form an unexpected bond. Supporting each other both at home and at work, Sasha and Carol take on the task of revamping and revitalizing the company; but things don’t go exactly as planned.
