Greg has just returned to the U.S. after two years away working with the Peace Corps in the West African country of Senegal. He feels out of place and is having a hard time adjusting. By chance he very briefly encounters Adji, a Senegalese woman who has been living in America for several years. They are both delighted to find someone else who knows and loves Senegal. Their experiences of feeling like a stranger to their own homelands are paralleled.
