  <default_description>Meet Jen Dik Seong &#8212; or &quot;Dixie&quot; as she's known to her friends. Korean American, dirt poor, and living on the ragged edge of LA's Koreatown, Dixie's only outlet is the ancient martial art of hapkido. In fact, she's on the verge of winning a championship &#8212; until she falls for fellow California surfer boy Adam and gets thrown spectacularly off her game. As she struggles to win the tournament &#8212; not to mention Adam's affections &#8212; Dixie learns that in love and in gift-giving, what goes around comes around.</default_description>
