Shruti Gupta is a DREAMer. A DACA recipient in her senior year of med school, she lives very efficiently in the apartment above her uncle’s jewelry store Jackson Heights, Queens, and leaves the drama to her brother Raj, the soon-to-be-married prince of the family. But when Irish actor Liam appears in Shruti’s patient communications simulation exam, a cross-cultural romance threatens to upend all her practical plans. Their unlikely romance blossoms just as the Supreme Court takes on the Trump Administration’s plan to end the legal protections that keep Shruti from being deported. She and Liam soon find themselves navigating cultural differences, ICE raids, newly unfettered racism, and what it means to be ‘American’.
