Shawn and Stephanie are young teens that have it all. They live in a great apartment in New York City that overlooks Central Park, and their mother is very rich. Life could not be better for them until their mother divorces and decides to change their address, not a little, but a lot. She decides to move the family to Cairns, in Australia, half-way around the world.
Stephanie is certainly not impressed with the decision and does everything in her power to make it NOT happen, which does not work. The move is made and the three of them face many disasters and multiple problems as soon as they step out of their apartment door. Shawn tries his best to fix everything while Stephanie over reacts very loudly to every odd situation that occurs.
