PLAY BREAKDOWN
The ultra-assimilated Wong family is as Chinese-American as apple pie:
teenager Upton dreams of World of Warcraft superstardom; his sister Desi
dreams of early admission to Princeton. Unfortunately, Upton's chores
and homework get in the way of his 24/7 videogaming, and Desi's math
grades don't fit the Asian-American stereotype. Then Upton comes up with
a novel solution for both problems: he acquires a Chinese indentured
servant, who harbors an American dream of his own.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
UPTON: 15, World of Warcraft superstar-to-be. Verbal, clever and
enterprising. Asian or mixed-race.
