A timely and honest coming-of-age story that explores the
complicated relationship between identity, culture, family, and
love. Seventeen-year-old Pakistani immigrant, Zara Hossain, has
been leading a fairly typical life in Texas since her family moved
there for her father's work. While dealing with the Islamophobia
that she faces at school, Zara has to lay low, trying not to stir
up any trouble and jeopardize their family's dependent visa status
while they await their green card approval. But one day her
tormentor, star football player Tyler Benson, takes things too far,
leaving a threatening note in her locker, and gets suspended. As an
act of revenge against her for speaking out, Tyler and his friends
vandalize Zara's house with racist graffiti, leading to a violent
crime that puts Zara's entire future at risk. Now she must pay the
ultimate price and choose between fighting to stay in the only
place she's ever called home or losing the life she loves and
everyone in it.
