Born into a large family of Asian ethnicity in Canada, Marion Ascough always felt like an outsider, not just because of her heritage, but also because of her aspiration to be an artist. At home, her siblings often take notice in the ways she defies expectation, and their next-door neighbors call Marion and her siblings "heathens" because they are not white. As Marion comes of age, she escapes the scrutiny of her siblings and the racism of Quebec to move to New York. There, Marion is dedicated to following her dream of having a successful art career. In New York, Marion is now labeled as a Canadian rather than ethnic, which lessens the racial discrimination she faces, but is instead disenfranchised because she is a woman. Because of this, Marion struggles to be taken seriously. While she fights to start her career and earn a consistent living, she meets Reggie, the man of her dreams. The two grow close and quickly talk of marriage. But when Reggie reveals that he wants all the benefits of a marriage without the actual ceremony, Marion becomes suspicious of his intentions.

After her performance at a beautiful tea house, Yuki, a Japanese dancer, is followed and harassed by a businessman. Claiming that they could make a lot of money together if Yuki went to America with him, the man does not intend to take no for an answer. When Jack, an awkward but friendly man, witnesses the harassment, he steps in to encourage the man to leave her alone. They then part ways, and Jack assumes they will never see each other again, but Yuki has a plan. Jack is one of the wealthiest foreigners in Japan, which Yuki learns through a mutual friend. When that mutual friend reintroduces Jack and Yuki, Yuki declares her intent to marry Jack.

Aware of the discrimination and racism that his fellow Americans practice, he tries to be careful not to partake in such heinous beliefs; therefore, he initially is opposed to the idea. Yuki, however, is persistent. Arguing that it would be mutually beneficial, Yuki admits that she is seeking financial stability. Upon her insistence, Jack finally gives in and agrees to marry. The two decide that it will be an open and honest relationship; Yuki is interested in Jack's money, and he is interested in her appearance. But as they grow closer, the couple realize that their no-strings attached arrangement might not work out as planned.
