Billi y sus padres Haiyan y Jian emigraron a la ciudad de Nueva York desde su ciudad natal Changchun, China hace veinticinco años cuando Billi solo tenía seis años.
Billi está luchando por encontrar su lugar en la vida y, por asociación, financieramente, aspira a ser escritora, pero la beca Guggenheim para la que solicitó y en la que puso muchas de sus esperanzas ha sido denegada.
Billi mantiene una estrecha relación con su abuela paterna - su "Nai Nai" - en Changchun a través de visitas ocasionales y llamadas telefónicas frecuentes.
Como es costumbre china, Billi y Nai Nai se dicen pequeñas mentiras piadosas tanto para salvar la cara como para evitar que la otra se preocupe por la dolorosa verdad.
Esas pequeñas mentiras se convierten en una gran mentira cuando Haiyan y su hermano mayor Haibin, que emigraron a Japón hace años, se enteran de que Nai Nai acaba de ser diagnosticada con cáncer de pulmón en etapa 4 con un pronóstico de solo meses de vida, el diagnóstico y pronóstico que ellos y el resto de su familia extendida que lo sabe deciden ocultar a Nai Nai misma.
En un intento de pasar un último tiempo juntos como familia con Nai Nai, idean una boda, la de Hao Hao, el único descendiente de Haibin, con Aiko, su novia japonesa de tres meses, como un evento, con Nai Nai como la principal organizadora en Changchun.
Haiyan y Jian no quieren que Billi vaya a la boda falsa siendo el eslabón débil que podría contarle la verdad a Nai Nai en sus costumbres occidentales.
Contra los deseos de sus padres, Billi termina volando a Changchun para la reunión en su deseo de despedirse de su Nai Nai.
A medida que pasa el tiempo, puede ser difícil no solo para Billi sino también para otros mantener la farsa. Pero Billi y los demás también pueden llegar a una mejor perspectiva de lo que es mejor para todos bajo las circunstancias.
