Aya Salem had spent her whole life surrounded by Muslims, and 12 years of her academic life in a Muslim school. She's now left the comfort of her old school, with it she leaves behind her old friends and her old life. Thinking she's left it all behind, she’s trying to adapt to her new life and changes. But the past is sure to catch up with her, especially if the girl she can't face in the mirror has anything to do with it. She’s now faced with the cruel real world, full of heartbreaks, prejudice and the struggles of trying to survive in a society that’s so alien and somewhat intolerant to her Religion. But just like every other young girl of her age she’s just trying to find her place, she’s trying to find herself. Throw in teenage hormones, friends, school, drama, boys, family and all the other teenage angst on top of Islamaphobia and the struggles facing Muslims living in the West. So is the girl under the hijab any different than any other girl?
