To escape working at his Dad's fortune cookie factory, Arthur Yu has spent his life preparing for law school. On the day of college graduation, Arthur opens a letter. He breathes a sigh of relief as he reads: "Congratulations on your acceptance to the University of Washington School of Law."

Arthur's girlfriend, Megan, has news of her own: She's landed a job at the Shanghai Museum of Art ... and has a ticket to China at the end of the summer. For Megan, it's dream come true, a chance to explore a new country and make use of her Chinese Art History degree. Who knew?

But Megan's dream is Arthur's nightmare. Faced with choosing between love and career, Arthur does the sensible thing -- he dumps Megan.

The unfortunate cookies are sent out into the world with disastrous results, causing couples to break up and sparking Megan to show Arthur what he'll be missing. Will he embrace the power of fate and fortune in time to win Megan back?
