THE FUSION GENERATION is a story of the generation of children of immigrants who are finding a place for themselves in the fusion culture of the west. A romantic comedy set in the South Asian community in Vancouver, it focuses on the lives of second and third generation youngsters, people who exist in a unique multicultural landscape which on one side is dominated by western culture and the other by their own unique culture.

This funny and sometimes raunchy story is seen through the eyes of it's male lead - Jag, known to his friends as J.D. - who is desperately searching for his dream girl before his parents get him caught in the "arranged-marriage" trap. But the woman (Teejay) he falls for doesn't want to get married.

The two lovers follies, heartbreaks and triumphs forms the basis of what is essentially a humorous, colourful, sociological odyssey through a vibrant multicultural landscape. The film is different from the usual NRI fare in that it has the unique sensibility of Hollywood romantic comedies like American Pie.

Being an East-end guy, Jag sees marriage to Teejay as a step up for him in the world - but Teejay wants to remain independent without the legal shackles of marriage.

Through a series of mishaps - Jag loses his job, is forced to leave his house and has to reexamine his life. And Teejay has her own problems with her parents filing for a divorce after her father (Sam - the lumber mogul) has a child by his French mistress. Teejay is also forced to takeover the family's lumber business.
