Three families uproot their lives in America and move to Africa.

Restless children, anxious parents, and unexpected visitors add comic twists to each family's African adventure. New foods, new friends, and exotic sights and sounds make everyone question if they can adjust and call this new land home.

Africa's searing climate proves it is not for the faint of heart. Power outages dampen spirits but not the determination to conquer fears and overcome challenges. Tensions rise as money becomes an issue, and each family must face their own obstacles.

The families go beyond the African city limits, experiencing lush rural landscapes and visiting a tribal village. The trip provides a breath of fresh air, spiritual awakenings, and fish-out-of-water moments.

A colourful ceremony bestows new African names upon one family as they begin planning for a promising African future. Tough talks, long walks, and surprising decisions make it seem like everything is finally coming together.

Africa is not as cheap as they had expected, but each family tries to find ways to stay in the motherland. They have made connections and friendships that are too strong to let go of and are determined to plant deeper roots.
