Best friends, Tamanna and Yasmine, cannot believe their good fortune when a school is set up in their Afghan village. However, their dreams for the future are shattered when the Taliban burn down the school and threaten the teacher and students with death.
As Tamanna faces an arranged marriage to an older man, and the Taliban target Yasmine’s western-educated family, the girls realize they must flee.
