Felicity Edwards-Scott has abandoned her career in England to dutifully follow her husband to Asia. Together with their young family in tow, they must adapt to their new life as expatriates. Where do they live? What’s with her singing maid? Will she ever make new friends? And what the hell’s happening to her hair?

Counseled by a band of international women (Australian, German, American and Japanese), Felicity loses herself in the whirlwind pace that is life as an expatriate as her husband Harold becomes hypnotised by discos, management meetings, and the seductive tones of Elvis music. As Felicity and Harold navigate the new parameters of their marriage, we are left to wonder, “Can Felicity and Harold ever be repatriated?” How would they make it through without the enduring support of her new found friends – the Expat Wives?
