Bifocal is based on a true incident. When a Muslim boy is arrested for suspicion of terrorist activity, the school population becomes polarized. Haroon, a young Muslim, is a serious student devoted to his family. Jay, a white kid and a rising football star who is new to the school, is fiercely devoted to his team. Amid an atmosphere of growing racial tension, both boys set out on a painful journey of self-discovery, where they must question their loyalties and the beliefs they have always taken for granted.
