Foreign Devil tells the story of Ni Bing, whose desire for a free life earns her the disparagement of family and friends. Amid the turbulence of the Cultural Revolution and the kafkaesque rules of contemporary China, she dreams of attending college and moving to America. Trapped in a web of gossip and innuendo, betrayed by her married lover, threatened by the local police, and thwarted by the haunting past, Ni Bing finds more than just a way out.
By losing her innocence, she finds herself - and uncovers the intricate secrets of her parents.
