A warm, character-driven story about a Palestinian mother and son rebuilding their lives in rural America while navigating displacement, family bonds, and the shadow of geopolitical conflict.

Eager to provide a better future for her son, Fadi, divorcée Muna Farah leaves her Palestinian homeland and takes up residence in rural Illinois -- just in time to encounter the domestic repercussions of America's disastrous war in Iraq. Now, the duo must reinvent their lives with some help from Muna's sister, Raghda, and brother-in-law, Nabeel.
