A girl finds love and courage in Qatar, but also danger. Normally, nothing can upset Rea so quickly, but lately everything has simply gone over her head: exams, theater rehearsals, driving lessons - nothing seems to work out for her. When Rea finds out that her diplomat father is being transferred to Doha, Qatar, she finally has a crisis. How is she supposed to find her way in such a strange world, where completely different rules and values apply? But although she is determined to hate Doha, she is strangely taken with the ultra-modern,
luxurious desert city. After a few initial difficulties, Rea befriends the rebellious Farah, who practices daring car stunts in the desert together with other women. When the
two girls go to an illegal desert party one night, Rea's life changes forever. This is where she meets and falls in love with a young man called Shabah. What she doesn't suspect: Shabah has a secret, and Rea's presence puts him in extreme danger...
