Monica Tsai spends most days on her computer coding for a program that seeks to connect strangers online. A self-confessed recluse, she finds herself escaping into a digital world, counting the days until she can return home to her beloved grandparents. Now in their nineties, Monica worries about them - especially her grandmother Yun whose memory has begun to fade. Monica has become intent on tracking down the long-lost cousin Meng that her grandmother was separated from back in China before it's too late. In her search, Monica connects with a young woman archivist who presents her with a single pencil that holds a clue to a hidden family history. Through it Monica comes to learn of her grandmother's years in Shanghai, working at the Phoenix Pencil Company.
