Grace Tang is an investment banker successful in the high-powered world of finance despite her modest Chinatown upbringing. However, she is still constantly seeking to climb the social ladder by joining the most elite committee in New York. When Grace finally gets an invitation to a party for The Opera of New York City’s Junior Committee, she is determined to shine. At the chic affair filled with haute WASPs, Grace is mistakenly connected to the renowned “Shanghai Tang” boutique on Madison Avenue, so the committee members promise to vote Grace in. Before she can correct her mistaken identity, all eyes turn to handsome Andrew Barrington, Jr., the heir to the Barrington fortune. When the duo are introduced, he is completely taken by her unaffected style, while Grace is thrilled to be taking the most eligible bachelor in New York.
