Marise is now sure that she is pregnant but just how will she break the news too her best friend since birth Simone. ~Description of "Family"~. Marise Océan has lived in Paris her entire life, looking at the Eiffel Tower was an everyday thing as it was just outside her bedroom window of her sky high penthouse (her parents owned the entire building and multiple others). But now she's 16 and in grade 10 and her parents just bought her student abroad pass and she has to live in America (Landgraabs Suites) for her entire high school. And live in a building where rich americans (like the Landgraabs) call this mediocre apartment building a Deluxe Suites. But Marise is not alone. Anabelle her bestfriend since birth has always wanted to try the crude cooking of America and is now taking Culinary School. Simone is itching for some polluted air city life for inspiration and Allen, well he's just out for a rip, (America has good sporting equipment). Now all four of these rich kids are stuck in America with only $50,000 to their name!.
