The film follows a Bangladeshi Muslim taxi driver, Haider, who faces the reality that the American Dream may never be his. Grueling hours, rude customers, a collapse in medallion values in New York City and suicides among fellow drivers continually chip away at his hope for the future. Under this backdrop, crisis spills into his family life as his child, Shoshi, is consumed by a struggle: a desire to live life fully as man in a transphobic immigrant culture. His relationship with his transgender son challenges his past views on LGBTQ issues, forcing him to confront prejudice in his community to protect the child he loves.
