But rea­li­ty cat­ches up with them. Sami suf­fers from her strict par­ents, Joe needs to take con­stant care of her siblings and Leyla ner­vous­ly starts her app­ren­ti­ce­ship as a chef. And when a trau­ma­tic expe­ri­ence befalls Joe her fri­ends are bad­ly nee­ded.

At the end of this cra­zy rol­ler­co­as­ter ride they need to ask them­sel­ves: Will their dreams with­stand reality?
