Ajay Anthonipillai, the son of Sri Lankan Christian immigrants, follows a long set of rules from his Tamil parents. At a new school, he hopes that winning the favor of a seventh-grade all-star will help him stop eating alone. When that student asks Ajay to steal a candy bar, Ajay agrees. The theft sets off a million-dollar problem and a growing chain of lies, making it harder for him to tell the truth and find his place.
