A former Britpop rocker is living a numb existence and working on an organic farm just outside LA. By day he goes to a farmer's market to sell produce and by night he drinks himself into a stupor. Drinking one night he gets pulled over for a DUI that dredges up a past drug offense and threatens him with deportation. His only hope of remaining stateside is proving that his absence would cause extreme hardship for a spouse or relative.

Amira has a run-in with the police, so Sam takes her under his wing. Despite their differences, Sam and Amira share a common bond as outsiders. The more time they spend together, the harder it is for them to combat their feelings for one another. Meanwhile, Sam becomes entangled in an investment scheme and Amira's trouble with the law escalates to the brink of deportation.
