Bilal, a young 17-year-old Kurdish boy, has traveled through the Middle East and Europe to join his girlfriend, who recently immigrated to England.

There he meets Simon, a swimming instructor in the midst of a divorce. To impress his wife and win back her heart, Simon decides to risk everything by taking Bilal under his wing.
