Summary:

"2019. Moud is an out gay teen living in Los Angeles with his distant father, Saeed.

Saeed is an engineering student with a promising future ahead of him in Tehran. But when his parents discover his involvement in the country's burgeoning revolution, they send him to safety in America, a country Saeed despises.
