Synopsis

It's summer holidays, and on the other side of the break awaits the 7th grade. Freja is looking forward to hanging out with her best friend Asta. But everything changes when Asta gets a visit from a girl she met online from England who is apparently much more fun to hang out with.

Freja feels lonely, but luckily she also finds a new friend online. Someone who is good at giving Freja attention and who always replies to her messages. Someone who makes it easy to turn your back on everyone else.
