A Japanese man and Taiwanese-American wife's immigrant life unravels when their son disappears. The kidnapping reveals hidden secrets, testing their emotional limits and moral boundaries.

“What excites me about ‘Dear Stranger’ is how it captures the layered identities and emotional complexities of cross-cultural marriage and immigrant life. It’s a deeply human story that speaks to the Asian and Asian American experience while resonating far beyond it.”
