High school senior Naeem Rahman is an immigrant from Bangladesh living in a Muslim neighborhood in Queens. He's well aware that his neighborhood is closely monitored by law enforcement. Being under the watchful eyes of his parents is equally suffocating. And when Naeem is busted for shoplifting, he's given the opportunity to work as a police informant, but his role working with the police leaves him facing decisions that could affect the lives of many others in his community, including his friend Ibrahim.
