When a young man is given the chance to rewrite his future, he doesn't realize the price he will pay for giving up his past...
Casablanca's stinking alleys are the only home that nineteen-year-old Youssef El-Mekki has ever known.

But as he leaves the slums of his childhood behind him, he comes up against a starkly un-glittering reality...
