Plot[]
Jennifer "Scout" Lauer is a teenage girl who lives the simple life in New York City until her photographer father is sent on a year-round trip around the world and she is forced to live with her know-it-all mother Cheryl and her new husband Roger at a resort in South Africa. While there, she is exposed to a new world, goes to a new school, and reunites with her childhood friend Bongani, who believes strongly in his Zulu culture, lives with his veterinarian uncle C.B., and often acts as the voice of reason for Scout. Scout keeps contact with her best friend Sherna via webcam, and must also deal with her stepdad's bratty know-it-all son Tyler. During the course of the series, Scout becomes more comfortable with her new surroundings.
