Casper, just a teenager, is a member of the gang and is trying to hide his desire for security and love behind a tough façade.

Things get out of control and Casper is on the run.

Sayra senses that Casper is in danger and helps him in his flight from the Mara. An adventure begins that welds the two together and marks the beginning of a tender romance with an open end …
