David Ricketts is a troubled 17 year-old Korean adoptee struggling to cope with Tourettes, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Bi-Polar disorder. In a desperate act, his adoptive Canadian parents return him to his birthplace in South Korea to reunite with his birth father. They hope that finding his biological family will ease the pain at the root of his destructive behaviour and dangerous sense of disconnection. But can a reunion provide the answers and help David turn his life around? Or does it reveal a past he would rather not face?
