British filmmaker James "Happy" Marshall moved to New York several years ago with a strong sense of American patriotism, which hasn't faltered despite experiencing cynicism from those around him. This series sees the adventurous Englishman explore America -- hoping to fall deeper in love with his adopted homeland -- alongside enthusiastic American Todd, who wants to see the country in a new light. Rather than staying at hotels while on their journey, the friends stay with everyday Americans who they meet on the trip, talking to the strangers about their backgrounds and challenges they face. Marshall's goal with this series is to combat some of the negative perceptions of America and show that the nation is home to more good people than bad and that the American dream is still alive and well.

Some examples of things that can be done by an individual to become a better citizen include showing respects for the rights and properties of others, being honest and trustworthy and following the rules and laws.
