Ji-won's life is in disarray. Her father's affair has ripped the family to shreds, leaving her to piece their crappy lives back together.

Then her mother's new and obnoxious white boyfriend enters the scene, bragging about his knowledge of Korean culture and ogling Asian waitresses. As he gawks at her teenage sister around their claustrophobic apartment, Ji-won's grip on reality begins to slip.

She finds herself growing obsessed with the white boyfriend's brilliant blue eyeballs, resolving to do the one thing that will save her family — and curb her cravings...
