Counter Offence

An East Indian immigrant daughter marries a foreign student from Iran. One day their world is turned upside down: she charges him with wife battering and he, in turn, charges the police of being racist in their handling of his arrest. What happens when the "race-card" is used as a ruse to evade responsibility for violence against women?
