A very happy and excited male in his late 20s, jumping for joy wearing a blue shirt over a grey t-shirt, a green pant and leather boots. Two beige suitcases sit in front of him. Slightly at distance, a milestone points to three directions- New Delhi, Adelaide and Sydney.

Immigrants love Australia and Australian way of life. Its beaches, strip clubs and—of course—dollars.
The only thing they fear is racism, as everyone wants respect. But the question is what can you offer in exchange for what you expect from others?
Newly immigrated to Australia and looking for acceptance, Happy will do most things to fit in... but what happens when the tables are turned?
Happy, a young man whose oblivious actions will have consequences and it's not the racism which he fears.
The multiple award-winning show is inspired by actual events.
