BREAKDOWN
It’s 2016. Xue Xing wants DHH to write a musical that’s a smash hit in China. Hillary Clinton wants to be President, and the American people want to keep viewing Chinese culture as they have for centuries. As America comes to terms with the consequences of the recent election, can these two super powers see eye-to-eye before it’s too late?
