Zeinah, a Syrian woman who has been pushed by her family to marry a jihadist, finds herself joining the city's morality police.

Justine uproots her progressive New York family when she's tapped to curate an exhibit in Abu Dhabi, where she must reckon with her moral and ethical limitations.

And Eskedare, a spirited and defiant Ethiopian teenager, flees a dreaded arranged marriage to search for her only friend, only to find her dreams dead-end in the Gulf.
