Simply FOBulous is a romantic Comedy about Thuy Nguyen, a rebellious daughter who succumbs to her mother's dying wish for her to marry a Vietnamese mail-order husband. But when Dung, the mail-order husband, arrives, she is determined not to follow through with the arrangement. As hilarity ensues, Dung finds himself being looked down upon as a FOB, "Fresh-Off-the-Boat," in the midst of a family being driven apart even as they struggle to hold onto their past. Through his example Dung shows the family where they've gone astray and that being a FOB, far from shameful, can be simply FOBulous.

— Chau Nguyen
