Mike and Kate have great lives in Brooklyn, he as a science teacher, and she as a publicist for a publishing company. Along with their dog Maggie, they have friends and all of NYC at their doorstep. But they also have a desire to live abroad before they settle down. When Mike received a sudden job prospect in Bermuda, they jumped at the opportunity, which involved breaking the lease on their apartment, and Kate leaving behind her job. Being very career driven, she worries what she's going to do with her time, especially on a tiny little island in the middle of the Atlantic. With one income and a high cost of living, they hope to find their new home in sunny Bermuda.
