Stevie and Hafiz are two young people who face different challenges in their lives. Stevie, a fourteen-year-old girl, lives in Lewes with her mother, who suffers from depression. When Stevie's mother's disability benefits are cut, they are plunged into poverty. Despite this adversity, Stevie is determined to make something of herself and takes inspiration from her father's 1980s record collection, dreaming of becoming a musician.

One day, Stevie meets Hafiz, a talented footballer, and a Syrian refugee. Hafiz's parents gave their life savings to buy him a safe passage to Europe, but his journey has been anything but easy. He has faced discrimination and hardship along the way.

Stevie and Hafiz's friendship grows, and they encourage each other to believe in themselves and follow their dreams. Stevie helps Hafiz practice his football skills, and Hafiz shares his music with Stevie. They form a bond that transcends their differences and helps them to overcome their challenges.

As their friendship deepens, Stevie and Hafiz start to develop feelings for each other. However, they are aware of the social stigma and prejudice that surrounds their relationship. They face criticism and disapproval from some of their peers, but they remain determined to be together.

In the end, Stevie and Hafiz's love for each other triumphs over all obstacles. They prove that love and friendship can overcome any challenge, and that diversity and inclusion can bring people together. Their story is an uplifting one that highlights the important and topical issues surrounding young carers and young refugees. It reminds us of the power of hope, determination, and the importance of supporting each other in times of need.
