They find out that despite their stark differences, they have an entomological similarity - they both have the same butterfly tattoo on their arms.
Explore themes of conflicting emotions, internal struggles, and feelings of religious duty as you follow Mia and Layla across Sydney - from their cozy Darlinghurst apartment above a local cafe, to the golden sands of Bondi beach, to the buzzing heart of Central station, as they navigate adulthood and love. Mia, who struggles between desperately trying to keep her long distance relationship with her high school sweetheart, Connor, alive, and wanting to explore new possibilities within Sydney's vibrant dating scene, and Layla, who harbours a secret so deep that even Mia cannot know about it.
But when Mia finds out she is pregnant, the stakes heighten. Will Mia choose the security of her relationship with Connor, or will she risk everything for a chance at self-discovery?
