Based on a true story, Bilal—a Muslim high school senior in Detroit—works long hours to keep up both his grades and his family’s long-owned taxi stand. “The Stand” has been the source of all activity and money for the family for 60 years, and now Bilal is destined to carry the torch. Yet despite a series of setbacks at home, Bilal secretly submits a college application and takes up ice carving in order to win a scholarship. Now he is forced to decide whether he should continue running—The Stand—the only life he has ever known—or take a chance at social mobility.
