When Raja explains to his class how close he feels to Justin, everyone in the high school teases them mercilessly about being a ‘couple’.

About the show

Justin Tolchuk is a sensitive, lanky 16-year-old just trying to make it through the social nightmare of high school in Medora, Wisconsin, with the help of his well-meaning mom, aspiring entrepreneur dad and popular sister.

When Justin’s mother signs up for the school’s international exchange student program, she pictures being assigned an athletic, brilliant Nordic teen who will bestow instant coolness on her outsider son, Justin.

But the Tolchuks’ exchange student turns out to be Raja Musharaff, a 16-year-old Pakistani Muslim.

Despite the cultural chasm between Justin and Raja, they quickly develop an unlikely friendship that just might allow them to navigate the minefield that is contemporary high school.

It’s going to be a very interesting year for Raja, Justin, his family and the entire population of Medora.
