Synopsis

When her father accepts a promotion overseas in Japan, high-spirited 16-year-old Holly has no plans to head to Japan with him. She decides she'd rather live in the New York City with her "strait-laced" sister, Valerie. In the opener, Holly's attempts to prove herself a perfect roommate backfire when she misinterprets a remark about Feng Shui and rearranges the apartment. To make matters worse, Holly jeopardizes Val's job with a marketing firm when she disrupts a promotional event featuring skateboarder Tony Hawk.

Quotes
