Hardworking physician Francesco and his wife, registered nurse Mari, need a break from running their own clinic. After a vacation to an eco-village in Belize, they were inspired to find their own low footprint home off the grid. But after putting off the search because of their grueling work schedule, Francesco and Mari knew it was now or never, so they asked their son and his girlfriend Alicia to find them a home in the Macal River Valley. Wes is trying to balance his dad's request for a practical house with his moms desire for a creative style home. Deciding to live simply with nature is one thing, but Wes isn't just isn't sure how off the grid he can leave his parents.
