Grace Tang is an ambitious, hardworking, young woman determined to work her way up the ladder of life and out of working-class Chinatown. She seems to have done exactly that with an Associate position at a top notch Wall Street investment bank. But more than anything, Grace yearns to be part of the Upper East Side socialite world. When Grace finally receives that elusive invitation to the Opera's prestigious Junior Committee Meet & Greet, she is prepared to shine. What she isn't prepared for, however, is being mistaken as "the Grace Tang" of the Shanghai Tangs, an heiress from Hong Kong. But before Grace can correct the situation, she is introduced to Andrew Barrington, Jr. one of the most eligible bachelors of New York City and she decides to run with her new identity.
