James Hudson is Korean-American, driving a gypsy cab in L.A., using his Korean language skills to pick up fares at LAX's international terminal. One day he picks up a young Korean who's searching for her brother, given up for adoption 20 years before. Her English is poor, so she hires James to help. He gets her a room in a cheap, downtown hotel and drives her the next day to the county adoption office and to an old address of her brother's when he was adopted as a small boy. At that house, the residents are new and know nothing, but a boy on a swing triggers a childhood memory in James. Is a miracle of reunion and connection at hand in the City of the Angels?
