Synopsis:
Sama is an American high school student who is in love with Patrick, an all-American boy. But, Sama is not your typical American teenager.
Born to a traditional Muslim family, she discovers that is she to be betrothed to a 32-year-old Muslim man, a marriage her recently widowed mother had planned very carefully to ease their financial situation.
Sama hides her intimate relationship with Patrick from her family, especially her ultra-conservative older brother, Rami, who is considered the head of the family after the death of their father.
Sama does not want to get married. She and Patrick attempt to runaway, but her mother and Rami find out.
Will Sama escape the arranged marriage or will she become another victim of religious and cultural beliefs that are rooted in thousands of years of tradition?
