Seagulls Astray examines how young people make the transition from university student to career starter. Who will have an easier time of it; a Californian at loose ends in Japan, or a Tokyo coed tightly surrounded by family?

In classrooms, coffee shops, offices, boardrooms and bedrooms, they make their decisions and cultivate the relationships that ultimately define their lives.
