"Hope Island" tells the story of a group of people who come to the UK from Turkey illegally and a young girl who comes for the purpose of educational opportunities. These young people, who come from different classes and cultures, are taking the journey of hope towards England to resume life elsewhere.

Bahar, who works as a factory worker and has just turned 18, has completely different dreams for her future, but her family has already decided her fate. Caught between a silent mother, a retired father who seeks happiness elsewhere, and an unemployed older brother, Bahar searches for salvation in a world she knows very little about. Her uncle, meanwhile, is waiting for Bahar to reach legal adulthood so he can marry her off to his own son. After a tragic incident forces Bahar to flee her home, her fate has already been sealed.
