Sunshine has been fighting on the side of justice since she was little. Cherry is a mute girl who eschews spoken words for messages scribbled on paper planes to communicate her thoughts. A war has been declared on an odiously fawning principal, an overbearing PTA chairman (and overprotective father of Cherry), a team of opportunistic teachers and a class of students innocent no more! Teaming up with a tech-savvy mentor (the school janitor), a range of DIY gadgets and the occasional indulgence of mischievous acts, Cherry conducts a series of covert operations and comes to Cherry’s rescue at a choral speaking competition.

On winter solstice day, a tram arrives at the terminus, depositing the last passenger in an old neighbourhood. Roaming eerily empty streets among surroundings at once familiar and strange, the old woman has her mind firmly set on one task, prompting her panic-stricken son to abandon his work and speed to her side. Somewhere, sometime else, a young woman is frantically searching for her little boy. In a city that prides itself on overnight transformations and clearing out the old to make way for the new, the mother takes her son on a reverie where the past and the present, memories and realisations are immutably and inexorably mixed.
