In a small American city reeling from the aftermath of 9/11, two teenagers who were brought to America as children seek refuge in each other from the harsh environment around them. When G becomes naturalized, she and B hatch a plan to marry so that he may legally remain in the country and pursue the future of his dreams. But as time hurtles on and complications mount, the young friends find that this act challenges and fractures the closest relationship either has ever had.
