Tamika is an insecure, hearing-impaired teenager with a talent for drawing. Fatima is a refugee from a war-torn country who creates origami from the newspapers she sells on the streets of the Bronx. The two artists are introduced to each other by a young, traumatized veteran named Jimmi, who instructs them to create something "beautiful" together. Through their friendship and their art, Tamika and Fatima strive to hold off the violence and ignorance that must inevitably come crashing into their lives.
