England, 2014. Ditching their phones, teenage best friends Doe and Muna embark on a life-defining journey to escape their dreary seaside town for Turkey. Traversing planes, trains and automobiles, the girls dream of new lives and promises fulfilled upon reaching their ultimate destination: Syria.
Part political thriller and part bittersweet coming-of-age this searing debut by one of Britain's strongest theatrical talent (Royal Court's Nadia Fall) refuses to flatten the complexity of radicalised girls who defy social and familial expectations by choosing to become Isis brides. Anchored by two mesmerising performances this is a profoundly resonant and compassionate glimpse into a debate with no easy answers.
