Two women— Naomi, an army lieutenant, and Anisah, her Afghan translator—lose their husbands in the war.

Once discharged, Naomi brings Anisah home with her to Mississippi, where things begin to unravel. Friendships are thrown into turmoil, families are fractured, and a city-wide political debate ensues. With the threat of deportation looming, everyone must examine the true meaning of family, friendship, and the American Way.
