Ben, (Joseph Baird) a passionately agnostic PhD student, falls behind in his dissertation and is surprised to find a muse in Ara (Constance Ejuma) a fellow PhD student and devout Muslim. Even though they have vastly different beliefs and lifestyles, they find a way to connect in a world where their relationship proves next to impossible, especially since Ben is engaged in an open relationship with another woman. A strange love triangle ensues and through their journey they discover that when two cultures touch each other, the consequences can be magical and tragic.
