New York City accountant Bruce moves to Sweden in Northern Europe, after falling in love with a Swedish woman.

Bruce and his beautiful Swedish girlfriend Emma seem to be the perfect couple, so it only seems natural that when Emma decides to leave New York to accept a prestigious banking job in Stockholm, Bruce decides to join her. When they get there, Bruce not only has to deal with the culture shock of moving halfway across the world, but also with learning to get along with Emma's strange and very Swedish family.
