This film deconstructs the complex dynamics of a family torn apart. Yoon Myung and Tai Sook Suh immigrated to America for a better life for their children, Andrew and Catherine. But their pursuit of happiness quickly became riddled with misfortune, culminating on September 25, 1993, when Andrew shot and killed Catherine’s fiancé at her bidding. As the history of the Suh family unfolds, issues of cultural assimilation, gender inequity, traditional values, and justice are examined, raising questions of guilt, innocence, and the gray area between.
