It’s 1979, the midst of the Iran Hostage Crisis. Facing certain death on the front lines of the Iran-Iraq War, 17 year-old Ali Jahani is smuggled out of Iran and sent to live with his uncle in the small Northern Ca­lifornia town of Petaluma.

Here he is forced to adjust to life in a small California town only to face more hostility in America due to the hostage crisis. Living with his embittered uncle, the boy faces a mountain of adversity everywhere he turns. Rejected by everyone but determined to fit in, Ali joins the school’s floundering wrestling team.
