Free-spirit Syngin is flying from South Africa to the US to be with the love of his life, Tania. Although he hopes for a romantic reunion, he is quickly thrust into meeting Tania's friends and faces uncomfortable questions about his future plans.
Syngin is overwhelmed by the living situation and faces more uncomfortable questions when he meets Tania's extended family. Then, Tania announces she's taking off for a month for Costa Rica and leaving Syngin at home with her mom!
While Tania is having the time of her life in Costa Rica, Syngin struggles to pass the time in Connecticut with only Tania's mom for company. When Tania refuses to call more often, Syngin starts to second-guess his choice to leave his life behind for her.
Syngin is happy when Tania finally returns from Costa Rica, but their joy at being back together is quickly overshadowed by more bickering. Then, Tania drops a bombshell at a couples astrology session that might tear the two of them apart.
Syngin is reeling from Tania's revelation at their astrology session. As time runs out on his visa, Syngin seeks a friend's advice and Tania tries on wedding dresses. The wedding day approaches, but the couple must first have a serious heart-to-heart.
Now married for a few months, Syngin is getting used to life in America. They finally move out of Tania's mom's shed, but Tania is recovering from a car accident injury that keeps her from working, and Syngin feels pressure to find employment quickly.
