In 2015, Briton Gareth Shone and his Anglo-South African wife, society college drop-out Julia Pryke, who met in Sweden, bought a derelict farmhouse in rural Hungary via Internet they never saw before. Ben lives with them for a week, helping them to install a window and assist them in buying chickens at a local market which Gareth must bring himself to kill. Even harder is facing a first-ever visit from her posh socialite mother, who can't grasp her daughter reversed her social promotion back to a living standard below grandmother's. They already nearly exhausted meager savings and have no plan, relying on Gareth's handyman skills and welcoming locals, especially friendly neighbor József.
