When the Culture Exchange Club of tamberwood highschool in the United States scrapes together just enough money for a four-day trip to Japan, five teens and their “supervisor and a half” have high expectations. But on the second-to-last day, the unthinkable happens. America goes to war, closes its borders, and leaves them stranded on the other side of the world.
The group must now adapt to everyday life in Japan. Navigating cultural mishaps, awkward language barriers, and the chaos of being very loud foreigners in a very polite country.
From bidet-induced existential crises to discovering that rice cookers are sacred, it’s a crash course in survival, friendship, and finding home when yours won’t take you back.
