My friend Yasmine – a successful and relatively famous fashion designer – had been insisting for a while that I join her overseas. The plan was simple: a direct flight to Dubai where we’d spend about a fortnight managing her newest boutique and broadening my photography portfolio. But then, a day before I was due to return to home, as the two of us were sitting on her balcony watching the glittering lights of the Burj Khalifa, Yasmine suggested I move with her to London. ‘Sydney will always be waiting,’ she said. ‘All that baggage that you left behind. But we’ll only be this young and this free once.’\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAfter a series of tragic events, Nicole leaves Sydney and her tight-knit immigrant family to build a new life for herself in London.
