If Bảo Nguyen had to describe himself, he'd say he was a rock. Steady and strong, but not particularly interesting. His grades are average, his social status unremarkable. He works at his parents' phởo restaurant, and even there, he is his parents' fifth favorite employee. If Linh Vu had to describe herself, she'd say she was a firecracker. Stable when unlit, but full of potential for joy and spark and fire. She loves art, and she dreams of making a career of it one day. The only problem? Her parents rely on her in ways they're not willing to admit, including expecting her to work practically full-time at their family's phửo restaurant. For decades, the Vus and the Nguyens have been at odds, having owned competing, neighbouring phởo restaurants. Bảo and Linh have resolved never to befriend each other, for fear of pushing too far and bringing on undue heartbreak.
