In the premiere episode we meet Rachel, a bubbly and warm-hearted mother who always puts family first – a family that has been known to attract their fair share of bad luck, especially on holidays. But through sheer will and a sense of humour, Rachel’s strength and optimism always gets them through.
While on a work trip to Hong Kong, Rachel’s husband Mark, her two-year-old son Ashton and five-year-old daughter Brooke flew over to visit. After a week of lecturing in risk management, Rachel and her family are invited to dine with one of Rachel’s students: a high-ranking government official.
But when they arrive at the unexpectedly fancy restaurant, Rachel’s risk management skills are put to work like never before. When the special entrée is brought out, a local delicacy called Thousand Year Old Eggs, Rachel is willing to do whatever it takes to avoid eating the stinky and expensive dish. So, not wanting to be rude to her gracious hosts, she sneakily promises Mark that she will give him “anything” if he eats her eggs. He of course accepts the challenge – one they would all soon regret.
