How many of us remember what our dreams were when we were children? What our hopes and aspirations were?

How many of us grew up and realised that all the wonderous, innocent dreams that we had were probably not going to come true.

That it was harder to become a superstar or a world-famous soccer player.

How many of us spent all of our lives unable to express ourselves and love who we wanted, openly.

This drama is about five such high school friends who also had dreams and goals but were unable to complete them.

This is a story of second chances,of being able to love whoever you want,of dreams coming true, and of happiness.
