Ezra Cohen, a thirty-five-year-old finance broker and pop culture podcaster, falls into an unlikely relationship with stylist Amira Mohammed. The couple first meet in a meet cute when Amira, frustrated with her GPS navigation system, parks in front of Ezra’s work building. He mistakenly believing Amira is his Uber driver, so climbs into the car, setting off an awkward dust-up.
Ezra makes amends by later taking her out to lunch, and they realize there is a mutual attraction despite their differences, as Ezra is Jewish, and Amira is black and the daughter of devout followers of the Nation of Islam.
Amira and Ezra eventually move in together, much to the chagrin of her father Akbar, who’d prefer his daughter were dating another Nation of Islam member. Six months into their relationship, Ezra takes her to meet his family. His rich, progressive Limousine liberal parents Shelley and Arnold patronizingy boast that they are accepting and supportive of everyone, mentioning Ezra’s lesbian sister Liza.
Before he can propose, Ezra is urged by his friend and fellow podcast host Mo to meet with Amira’s parents. The meeting does not go smoothly, as Akbar views Ezra with suspicion and shows resistance to his wish to marry Amira.
Ezra decides to quit his job at the brokerage firm to fully pursue his passion for podcasting. Later, the couple invite both sets of parents over for dinner and to discuss wedding plans. The dinner unsurprisingly goes awry, with the parents clashing over various issues.
