At first glance, Imran Uddin is just another 27-year-old New Yorker struggling to take over his family’s business—what’s unique is that his father’s business is a “pick-your-own” slaughterhouse in Queens.

The son of an immigrant, Imran must confront his mixed Bangladeshi-Puerto Rican heritage and gain acceptance from his father’s conservative Muslim community. On one of Islam’s holiest days, Imran must lead a sacrifice that will define him as a Muslim, as an American and as a son.
