Benson is a Black day care teacher. They've been together for a few years, but now they're not sure why they're still a couple.

When Mike finds out his estranged father is dying in Osaka just as his acerbic Japanese mother, Mitsuko, arrives in Houston for a visit, Mike picks up and flies across the world to say goodbye. In Japan he discovers the truth about his family and his past.
