For Mclean Sweet, this is just how she wants it. With unsettled feelings from a nasty divorce she travels around the states with her dad reinventing herself with each move.

Mclean starts to realize that being in one place can actually have its benefit After a small run in with some cops and the gorgeous boy from next door, Dave, saves her. After thanking Dave for his assistance, without hesitation, she lets slip her name; her real name, Mclean. Dave helps Mclean on her road to rediscovering who she is and he shows her how to come to terms with her unsettled divorce issues, and what Mclean finally realizes is that home isn’t just the house you live in, but being where the people who love you are.
