Minjun Park has one chance to change his life.
Raised in South Korea by a retired teacher who sacrificed everything for him, Minjun earns a scholarship to America, carrying two dreams across the ocean: becoming a basketball star and following the journalistic path inspired by his late father.
When he moves into his uncle’s home, America seems to be giving him everything he ever wanted. A new school. A basketball opportunity. A future.
Then Peace, his uncle’s daughter, starts looking at him as more than family. Her sister Joy soon develops feelings of her own, turning the household into a dangerous battlefield of jealousy, secrets, and betrayal.
Outside the house, Peace’s boyfriend, James, sees Minjun as the threat that stole everything from him. Unable to defeat Minjun openly, he begins creating rumors and traps designed to destroy his reputation and put his scholarship at risk.
Now Minjun must protect the future he promised his mother while navigating a household falling apart around him.
America was supposed to be his dream.
But when love, jealousy, family, and ambition collide, staying in America may cost him everything.
