The controversial novel that rocked the Muslim world is brought to vivid life in this energetic adaptation that was a Sundance Film Festival hit. Yusef a first generation Pakistani student moves off campus with a group of Muslim punks in Buffalo New York. His 'unorthodox' new housemates introduce him to Taqwacore a vibrant punk movement that exists only on the West Coast. Their living room is a mosque during the day while hosting punk parties at night. As time passes Taqwacore begins to have a profound effect on Yusef's life forcing him to challenge his own beliefs and ideals.
