Four friends, four very different stories... At an inner city school in Sydney Australia, Emma, Maha, Simon and Talia learn about themselves and each other through the unusual combination of Scripture class and netball. As Mr. Zulman teaches them the biblical Exodus story, of the Israelite slaves' quest for freedom, the students relate modern day stories of oppression interwoven with their own personal struggles. Simon's parents are separated and warring with each other. Talia's dyslexia makes the classroom an everyday battle. Maha's family is facing deportation back to war-torn Iraq. and Emma, who has lived all her life in Sydney, begins for the first time to appreciate the value of freedom. Outside of class, freedom takes on a new meaning for the four students when on the very day of the netball finals, Maha and her family face the very real prospect of deportation.
