Bente - a Student from Hamburg, Germany - is sent to a Lutheran High-school in Missouri, USA. Missouri isn't even the first choice for Bente. It is indeed an unlucky start. And there are health issues! Caitlyn, the host-sister is pregnant, too? A lot of turmoil lies ahead. Keep in mind, it is a Christian School! Well, and how would Martin Luther have reacted to all these shenanigans? And the Reverent, Caitlyn's grandfather? Does he approve? Certainly not! And Bente doesn't know anything about baseball and, when to cheer. Does it matter? How about the peers? Will there be a knight on a charger to fight for them? And 'unbuckling the belts' - does it solve any problems, or is it more so the prior cause of them? And, besides, keep in mind, it isn't even a native speaker telling this story!
