his teenage son wants to quit school to get rich, his colleagues
are suspicious of a Muslim teaching Indian history, and his old
friend has just reconnected with a childhood sweetheart for whom
Alif has always had feelings.Then one day, while leading a school
field trip, the unthinkable happens, and Alif finds his job on the
line as his life – and the world around him – rapidly descends into
chaos.
