Here's the synopsis:

Aaliyah lives a restless life as a princess and feels the increasing pressure of becoming queen. She yearns for adventure and fun, but because she is a princess the rules are very rigid. Control of her life steadily dwindles and, in the end, it becomes the deciding factor of her dilemma. Shortly after celebrating her 15th birthday she escapes to the Surakut Forest- the quickest route to her chosen destination. Along the way she makes some friends and together they share many experiences. Toward the end, Aaliyah begins to realize the importance of her life and begins to wonder how much control she will ever have over it.
