When Shalini's father gets a new job in L.A., she is torn away from her life in India and the boy to whom she's been betrothed since she was three. L.A. is so different, and Shalini dresses and talks all wrong. She isn't sure she'll survive high school in America without her fiance, Vikram, and now she has to cope with her mom's homesickness and depression. A new friend, chill and confident Renuka, helps Shalini find her way and get the courage to join the Food 4 Life clud at school.
