19-year old Kristin is on her way to New York, to make it big and write for a local Swedish paper. But after a wild graduationparty she misses her flight. She decides to hide in a house in the middle of nowhere with a weird girl, Andrea, while waiting for a new ticket. Together they build their own NYC for eveyone to read about. But soon reality catches up.
