Plot
After losing her sister in a tragic accident, Korean teen, Youngwon Park (17), is admitted into a foreign exchange student program by her parents with hopes of reforming her into an ideal daughter. Landing in a small, Midwestern U.S. town, Youngwon finds herself at a trailer park living under the roof of her heavy-handed host mom named George. George requires Youngwon to abide by stringent rules and a never-ending list of grueling chores. No white picket fence. No television. No Statue of Liberty. No land of the free. Cut off from the rest of the world, Youngwon bonds with Keiko - a Japanese exchange student also living in this mobile hell home. Together, they must learn to communicate in order to protect each other from George's wrath. This is a story of survival. While under George's delusion of the perfect family, how much can these girls endure in order to achieve their American Dreams?
