A Pakistani involved in a planned attack in New York City experiences a crisis of conscience.

Every night while the city sleeps, Ahmad, a former Pakistani rock star turned immigrant, drags his heavy cart along the streets of New York. And every morning, he sells coffee and donuts to a city he cannot call his own. One day, however, the pattern of this harsh existence is broken by a glimmer of hope for a better life.

Two Palestinian-American brothers living in Brooklyn find the living isn't easy when they run into problems trying to balance their religious beliefs with their Americanized lifestyles. The struggle becomes even more intense when tension begins to mount between Muslims and Jews in the brothers' neighborhood, mirroring the bloody, ongoing conflict back in Palestine.
