Fireworks explode, and not just because it's Chinese New Year! Kaylin returns to Hong Kong for the first time in five years, bringing her lover Asha -- and a completely new life plan -- to introduce to her family. But they have plans of their own for her. Kaboom!

The New Year's monster's name is Nian; can Kaylin and her clan survive him? This groundbreaking show will remind you that families in even the most far-away lands are, well, familiar.
