After ten years of legal red tape, a Turkish woman in her mid-40s finally realizes her dream of migrating to the states and being reunited with her husband. Little does she know that the 12 hour flight is only the beginning of her ordeal as she faces a series of escalating challenges from customs to her ride through the wilds of New Jersey to at last reach her husband.
