Baheer, and Afghan teen, sees his familys life turned upside down when they lose their livelihood as war rocks the country. A world away, Joe, a young American private in the Army national Guard, must put aside his dreams of becoming a journalist when hes shipped out to Afghanistan. When Joes unit arrives in Baheers town, Baheer is wary of the Americans, but sees an opportunity: Not only can he practice his English with the soldiers, but his family can also make money delivering their supplies. At first Joe doesnt trust Baheer or any of the locals, but Baheer keeps showing up. As Joe and Baheer get to know each other, to see each other as individuals, they realize they have a lot more in common than they ever could have guessed.
