Melanie is an up-and-coming mechanical engineer with big dreams and the ambition to match. When a high tech lab in Wurzburg, Germany offers her the job of a lifetime, she hops a plane and doesn't look back. Before long, she realizes that she might be in over her head: she doesn't speak German, her realtor doesn't quite get her, and she starts work in two weeks. With best friend Mary in tow, Melanie will need to manage a stressful house hunt, learn the ropes in a brand new town, and ink a deal with a landlord, all before her first day of work.
