David (David Moscow), a Jewish New Yorker who hosts the local TV hit "Sex and Happiness," falls for sensual dancer Layla (Shiva Rose), only to learn that she's a Muslim refugee. As romance ensues, so do plenty of objections from the lovers' families; not to mention David's prior engagement to bi-polar Jewish American Princess, Abby, played hilariously by Callie Thorne. Will Janowitz is a scene stealer as David's cool, flamboyant gay brother.

Sparks fly when a Jew and a Muslim fall in love in New York. David, a TV host of "Sex & Happiness", becomes smitten with the voluptuous Layla - a mysterious, sensual dancer. Layla turns out to be a Muslim refugee. Teased by specious tips from his ironic French cameraman, David madly pursues Layla. This sets off a veiling and unveiling of the similarities - and contrasts - of their ancient cultures. David's lust grows into love as he discovers in stunning Layla, a sensitive, intelligent, war survivor with an ancient rich culture that echoes his own culture. But their families are dead set against this unlikely romance. Faced with deportation, Layla must choose: Muslim American Dr. Ahmad or Jewish American David? Will David and Layla follow their hearts to blast through centuries of religious animosity?
