Synopsis:

Nuri and Lena, two teenage girls whose relationship started from convenience and comfort, are the complete opposite of one another. Nuri suffers from body dysmorphia and bulimia, trying to look perfect. Lena doesn’t care about her appearance but has abandonment issues and deeply rooted social anxiety.

The two girls decide to adopt a kitten. When they get home, Nuri’s Armenian mother demands her to get rid of the cat. Left with no options, they decide to sell it. Little did they know, handing the cat over to a trusted smile would come with some terrifying consequences.
