Sebastian is a bitter, self-hating wannabe Internet star from Los Angeles who has recently been dumped by his girlfriend and is looking for someone new. When his cousin Naoto, a quiet sake maker from Japan, shows up to find his own ex-girlfriend, Sebastian reluctantly takes him to northern California to find her. The two cousins are a clash of cultures waiting to happen – it’s just a matter of who will break first. Along their journey, the pair meet a colorful group of characters as they come to grips with who they really are and who they want to be.
