Storyline

John is a Korean adoptee in a white American family. Though his family treats him just like one of them, he sometimes faces racism at school and never really did come to terms with his different ethnicity. His parents decide that maybe he could try a summer at a Korean culture camp. There, John learns to deal with his issues, and of course there's the requisite romantic sub-plot.
