Plot
During a 90-minute onstage act, Amir Kapoor, who happens to be a lawyer is at the party with his wife Emily, who also happens to be the host of the Upper East Side dinner gathering. Amir was born in America but Muslim-raised in Manhattan, who ended up becoming a lawyer, while Emily is a soon-to-be artist whose focus is on the Islamic Themes seen in her arts. Prior to the dinner party, Amir becomes involved in a controversial case. Amir’s adapted nephew has raised his concerns about the case involving the capture of a local imam that may be outdone of funding terrorist-supporting groups, leading him to interrogate whether it is a ‘religious persecution’.
Emily is pulling Amir’s unwillingness about the issue and encourages him to show up in court to support the local imam. The controversial case becomes the shot in the dinner assembly, which includes an African-American, an Ex-Muslim, a Jew and a WASP, all dining over the issue about religious faith.
