It focuses on seventeen-year-old Lily Hu as she navigates her relationships with her peers that she's known for most of her life, her dreams of being a computer for the space program, the societal expectations that have been thrust upon her, and her burgeoning relationship with Kathleen Miller, a girl whom she has class with and starts to grow closer to.Lily is a loyal yet quiet friend, an excellent student who is taking higher-level math classes than most of the girls in her grade, and overall the perfect Chinese daughter that her parents want her to be.

Kath and Lily find they have common than just the one class, Kath dreams of being a pilot while Lily dreams of space exploration, and they both have a common interest in The Telegraph Club. As the girls grow closer, Lily starts growing into who she really is; she starts finding her voice when it comes to her friend group, she starts sneaking out late at night to visit The Telegraph Club with Kath.

All Gays Are Pedophiles

All Gays Are Pedophiles: After the police raid on the Telegraph Club, a newspaper prints an article claiming teenage girls were "recruited" by the "sex deviates" there because some attendees had been teenagers like Lily and Kath, heavily reflecting this belief (unusually though about lesbians instead of gay men). It also claims they got them into drugs.

Bittersweet Ending: Lily reunites with Kath and it's indicated the two may rekindle their relationship. However, what will happen to both with their disapproving families isn't clear. We also never learn what happened with Joyce and Tommy, who faced charges over letting teenage lesbians into the club, nor if it will be closed for good.
