The last thing Audrey (Ashley Park) expected from a trip to China to meet her birth parents was to get involved in drug smuggling and K-Pop star impersonation. But that's exactly what happens in the trailer for Adele Lim's upcoming comedy Joy Ride.

Audrey is joined on her trip by childhood best friend Lolo (Sherry Cola), her college roommate-turned-Chinese soap star Kat (Academy Award nominee Stephanie Hsu), and her eccentric cousin Deadeye (Sabrina Wu). These four friends may be on an unlikely (and hilariously explicit) journey, but by the end of it, they'll have learned more about friendship and who they really are.

Joy Ride, which recently premiered at SXSW, hits theaters July 7.
