11, Wen expressed her excitement at seeing her story come to life. Afraid of breaking her parents' super-strict rules, Ever doesn't know what to do, but she quickly finds herself falling for not one, but two boys who make her feel in over her head. What her parents don't know is that the 'Loveboat' program is actually a covert excuse for teenagers to hook up, drink, and go clubbing. While Ever just wants to spend the summer focusing on her passion for dance, she finds herself surrounded by the kind of over-achieving teenagers her parents want her to emulate. Ever's summer gets flipped upside down when her parents surprise her with a Trip to Taipei, Taiwan as part of a cultural immersion program. Inspired by Wen's own experience with the 'Loveboat' program as a teenager, the film will tell the story of a Chinese-American high school student from Ohio named Ever Wong, according to Deadline.
