In a youth detention centre, Joe is preparing to go back into society, not knowing what life will be like on the other side. However, when the new boy, William, is transferred to the cell beside him, Joe's desire for freedom quickly turns into a different kind of craving. Working together during lessons of photography, drawing, dancing and rap, Joe and William undertake a two-way journey.
