In their new country, Azzi and her family face the challenges of learning a new language, finding a place to live, and starting at a new school. With the help of a kind assistant at the school, Azzi starts to learn English and realises she is not the only one who has had to flee her home.

She makes a new friend and, with courage and resourcefulness, begins to adapt to her new life. However, Azzi misses her grandma, who has been left behind, more than anything. The question remains: Will Azzi ever see her grandma again?
