About the Show

This New Jersey premiere centers around Abdul Samee, a young man whose efforts to turn away from his heritage are challenged when he meets a beautiful woman from his father's homeland.

From the show:

Meet Abdul Samee: his father is Iraqi, his mother is Puerto Rican - but if you ask him, he'll say he's Italian. Longing to shed his cultural identity, he changes his name to Sam, marries an American and does everything in his power to turn away from his heritage. But when Sam meets Yasmina, a beautiful woman from his father's homeland, he begins to learn that a tree without roots cannot stand for long.
