“Made in USA” is a half-hour bilingual (English/Mandarin) dramedy about one woman’s unexpected rise to power in the underground world of birth tourism in the U.S. It explores whether goodness can survive amongst dishonesty, fraud, and extortion. If “Breaking Bad” and “Crazy Rich Asians” had a one-night stand with a gaggle of pregnant women, this show would be the strange yet delightful result of that consummation.

Our hero Penny Lan is a poster child for the ideal immigrant. She’s hard working, articulate, and plays by the rules. She is an excellent casino host because she truly loves providing people with what they need. But her innate human decency is also what keeps her from being competitive in a corrupt industry. When Penny is sick and tired of being overlooked by her work at the casino, she gets involved in the underground world of birth tourism, where she ultimately builds the path to her own greatness. As Penny makes her rise to the top, she encounters a myriad of other industries – immigration, real estate, local politics, the medical field, surrogacy, human trafficking, the meat industry, the automatic weapons trade, and the Russian Mafia.
