An emotional story of great friendship and incalculable loss. Yusuf and his brother, Ali, are trying to survive in a war-struck town. They’re waiting for their parents to come home. Yusuf posts images of some places before and after destruction. Those posts strike a chord with Tilly, a girl from Bute. A friendship between them leads to Tilly stealing the funds required to help bring Yusuf to the UK illegally. Tilly’s best friend, Dizzy, cannot believe the steps taken by her friend and strongly advises Tilly not go ahead with her plan.
