To reunite with his wife as she pursues her career and they navigate immigration paperwork, Emir moves to Fayetteville, Arkansas. Forced to begin again, he intends for the painful opportunity to mark a new chapter. His complicated home life, tentative friendships with Muslim international students, disengagement from his research, and concern over his mother’s health dominate his waking thoughts. That is until he meets Lacie Suchan and Maghniya Taia. Drawn to the pair's calm intimacy, his relentless pursuit of the duo brings him more than what he bargains for. What begins as fascination soon demands a cost, stirring buried memories, escalating confrontations, and setting in motion events that cannot be undone.
