Jasira wants something she can't define: attention, love, acceptance or a normal life.
Unfortunately, she doesn't know the right way to find it. When Jasira's mother exiles her to Houston to
live with her strict, quick-to-anger Lebanese father, she quickly learns what aspects of herself to suppress
in front of him. In private, however, she conducts her sexual awakening with all the false confidence
that pop culture and her neighbor's magazines have provided. The result is a funny, dark, bold and
harrowing look at the confusion and misguided exploration of youth in America's track houses, public
schools and suburban wastelands.
