Ali and Sami are living their best lives, looking forward to a summer of playing football and swimming in Mark’s new luxury pool – then Aadam, already threatened with deportation, is accused of theft. The boys are thrown out of Mark’s house and the future looks bleak. And just when he thinks things can’t get any worse, Ali’s father moves back to town. The boys are going to need each other more than ever now.
