Along the way, the boisterous vulnerable pair encounter life-changing adventures and mishaps, that  challenge their perceptions and resources. A road movie that explores the stunning diversity and physical beauty, urban and rural, of Trinidad, as well as the equally harsh and devastating inner terrain of its young characters’ lives.
