Two universities, one in the USA (Euphoria State) and one in Britain (Rummidge) have an annual exchange scheme. Normally this exchange passes without a hitch, but this year the two ‘priviliged’ ones are Philip Swallow and Professor Morris Zapp and everything will be different. The two academics arrive in tumult and changing times in the academic world. Philip Swallow is hoping to renew his pleasant feelings for the USA from the time he was there over twenty years ago, but he soon realises twenty years is a long time ago and everything is different.

Both men are in for the biggest shock of their lives.
