He struggles come to terms with all that he's left behind, while his comic outlook on life helps him deal with the pompous head of school, his quirky international roommate, and the "preppy goddess" who may be the love of his young life ... until a major event changes everything in a blink. Told from Will's point of view, CAN I GO HOME YET? is a compelling blend of comedy mixed with drama and more than a dash of teenage sarcasm.
