It arrives when members of the high school soccer team report seeing a teammate-- Iraqi refugee Sami Mohammed-- assaulting a girl in the locker room. In a town where animosity against refugees has reached a fever pitch, Julia finds an ally in high school principal Dom Parrish, who believes Sami is innocent.
