Amid the Lebanese economic crisis, a group of five high schoolers meets one last time after graduation to finalize their secret plan which guarantees to afford their approaching dreams. The plan is dangerous, and fun, but adulthood and responsibilities are very near. Their bodies are transforming, their appetite, their tastes, their cravings. None of them has imagined the big consequences of their actions.
