    • Synopsis
    • 120 hopeful teenagers who’ve never
      met before, embark on a life-changing
      journey as they begin at a boarding
      school. Far away from parents and
      everything they are familiar with, they
      plunge into their new lives. Some with the
      hope of getting new friends and putting
      the trauma of bullying behind them,
      others are committed to overcome
      this summer’s heartbreak and seek new
      adventures. The school year gives them
      the opportunity to redefine who they
      really are, who they want to be, and to
      change in the new relationships they take
      part in. They are forever connected.
