Kayla Ng is a good girl who wants to please her parents and her grandparents and relatives.

But she is also born in the year of the dragon. Her Chinese sign predicts she has fire within. When she is sent to study in Australia, from her homeland of Malaysia, she works hard to fulfil everyone’s expectation of her becoming a doctor.

She makes two lifelong friends: Eva and Russell, and her story highlights the difficulties, loneliness and often hilarious world of being an international student in Australia. While striving to graduate as a doctor, a tragic death destroys her world. Kayla realises she must choose: will she live the life expected of her, the life her family want for her, or will she live the life she dares to dream, and in doing so, risk losing all she has?
