Hassan (Ayad Akhtar) is a Muslim Pakistani living in Paris when he is unexpectedly apprehended by American intelligence officials on suspicion of terrorist activity. Filled with rage, Hassan swears to exact revenge and moves to the United States to join a small but growing terrorist group who intend to bomb Grand Central Station in New York City in the name of Islam. While he waits for the time to come, however, Hassan relies on the hospitality of childhood friend Sayeed Choudhury (Firdous Bamji), who lives in New Jersey with his wife, daughter, and sister. Sayeed is the perfect opposite of Hassan, who deeply values they way Americans of different faiths have learned to coexist. Further complicating the matter are Hassan’s growing feelings for Sayeed’s sister, Duri (Nandana Sen). The time for Hassan to take action draws near.
