Based on the bestselling memoir of the same title by culinary entrepreneur Eddie Huang, Fresh Off the Boat presents a fictionalized version of the Huang family: 11-year-old Eddie (Hudson Yang), younger brothers Emery (Forrest Wheeler) and Evan (Ian Chen), dad Louis (Randall Park), mom Jessica (Constance Wu), and Grandma (Lucille Soong). When we catch up with the Huangs, they've just moved from Washington, D.C., to Orlando, Florida, where Louis has opened a Western-themed restaurant. The restaurant isn't doing that well, and neither are certain members of the Huang family. Jessica feels lost among the Barbie-doll-like neighborhood moms. Emery and Evan's school hands out stickers instead of grades. And Eddie is struggling to fit in. The Huangs feel out of place in their new home, but if they stick together, they'll get through it somehow.
