Alana, an adolescent immigrant from Eastern Europe, is obligated to leave the United States due to her dad losing employment. Overwhelmed by the haunting anxiety of giving up her home, she begins to lose touch with the world around her. Escapism, rebelliousness and frustrations bring Alana out of her comfort zone, all but to find a pleasant companion and a new reason to stay.
