As a senior in high school, Joan Huang idolizes winning Prom Queen as the embodiment of popularity, beauty and the ultimate form of acceptance into American life. In her relentless pursuit for the crown, she undergoes an experimental racial transformation to become White and win Prom Queen. However, what she thought was a dream come true soon reveals itself to be an emotional and physical nightmare. "Slanted" offers a searing and unapologetically satirical view on race and the uncomfortable journey of learning to love yourself and your culture.

Wang helms with confidence, introducing numerous memorable set pieces and a poignant exploration of cultural identity. Grace and Chen infuse their character with aching adolescent awkwardness and vulnerability that earns easy rooting interest, even when making devastatingly yet authentically flawed choices.
