Teenage best friends Doe and Muna are heading off on what seems like the trip of a lifetime. Quiet, observant Doe hasn’t travelled since arriving in the UK as a Somali refugee aged three. Muna, sharp and fearless with Pakistani roots, leads them through airport security and into the unknown. But this isn’t a holiday. The girls are bound for Istanbul, planning to cross into Syria to begin a new life they believe holds purpose and meaning. When their fixer fails to appear, panic sets in, but turning back isn’t an option. Alone in a foreign city, they must improvise fast, pushing the limits of their courage, their faith, and their friendship.

A small-town cinema worker encounters strange characters on her birthday just as a secret from her past suddenly becomes unburied.

Two gangsters kidnap a psychic to find out where the man they murdered buried the loot.

If life is about change, a bored, single and seemingly friendless office worker needs a big one. But will a big material change alter the fabric of who he is or what he sees in the world? Does living always mean changing?

What have we become?
