How can a man survive and adjust to a world that he only remembers for macaroni and cheese and Ninja Turtles? When Rim Kwang is released from a North Korean work camp and returns to his family as Brandon McLennan, everything he understood about life is turned upside down. His mother has died; his older brother is estranged from the family; his father is distant. Only his older sister seems to take an interest in helping him adjust to his new world, and even she has limits.

Navigating his new world is more dangerous than returning. Can he find the strength to survive and bring his family back together? Or will he forever be stuck in North Korea?
