Lucia is a Spanish girl going as an exchange student to Pennsylvania. She is seventeen but she could just as well be thirteen, naive as she is. Lucia has watched too many teen movies that have filled her head with unrealistic expectations, a great way to start... It is the year 1999 when she embarks on a never ending trip to her final destination, the small Allentown airport. On one of the many flights she takes to get there, it hits her. Is she crazy? She is going to be living with people she has never met before for a year, a whole year! She doesn't even know how to do her laundry, for crying out loud... To make things worse she has just realised she can barely speak English, the language she has been studying since she was nine. What she doesn't know is that she has embarked in the journey of a lifetime. She is going to meet the most amazing people and fall desperately in love. As events unfold Lucia learns everything about expectations, self-preservation, heartbreak, growing up, insecurities and that thing called love.
