Marcy and Cleo Moon are sisters in a Korean-American family. Marcy has spent half a lifetime idolising her bold, glamorous sister. But when her brother-in-law dies in a freak accident, their reunion throws up a lot of weird questions, and opens the floodgates of family memory - hilarious, touching memories of their immigrant parents, of what it was like to grow up with a mother who could cook but couldn't fit in, an adored but absent father, and a sister who thought she was Cleopatra.
Marcy thinks the answer to her problems is to jog for her life through Indian territory in the Nevada desert. Cleo makes designer soups, and sells them as if her life depended on it.
