The film is a romantic drama about two Pakistani expatriates who live in New York, meet there and fall in love, and take a road trip to upstate New York to visit with family, according to the Citizen.

The filmmakers told the Citizen they were looking for a place that was “pretty and picturesque,” to shoot certain scenes and that led them to Fairfield. The movie is scheduled to be released in Pakistan.
