Set against the backdrop of post-9/11 America, the film follows three friends—Samir, Maya, and Omar—whose lives at a New York university are idyllic until the September 11 terrorist attacks permanently alter their world. Years later, Omar, now a cab driver, is coerced by the FBI into spying on Samir, whom the authorities suspect of being a sleeper terrorist agent. As Omar infiltrates his old friend's life to uncover the truth, the story delves into themes of racial profiling, the psychological trauma of wrongful detention, and the devastating impact of global geopolitical conflict on personal relationships.
