Following the newly emigrated Pradeep family as they retell (often through conflicting versions!) the story of their first few humorous months adjusting from Indian to American culture from an interrogation room.

Directed and EP’d by Michael Showalter and inspired by the personal experiences of Emmy-nominated creator Vijal Patel.
