The Lonely Path tells the story of Sami, a Kenyan immigrant to the US who faces tribulations that not only put his life at risk but the lives of his family as well. As he struggles to get permanent legal residence in the States, he faces the hardships of fraud, marital distrust, and family adversity.

 

Hope arrives in the form of Kumar, a fellow immigrant who works at the same restaurant as Sami. Kumar introduces Sami to Jasmine, a woman who will soon spin his world upside down.

 

To win a coveted green card, Kumar suggests that Sami divorce his wife and marry Jasmine "temporarily." Despite the objections of his wife, Sami reluctantly agrees, and as their lives hang in the balance, he must make the right choices to ensure his family's success.
