Meet the Metrostanis, three young Pakistani men in New York City at the turn-of-the-millennium: AC, a gangsta rap spouting academic; Jimbo, a hulking Pushtun deejay from the streets of Jersey City; and Chuck, a wide-eyed, off-the-boat kid, searching for himself and the American Dream.In a city where origins matter less than the talent for self invention, they have the guts to claim the place as their own.

Suddenly, they find themselves in a changed, charged America . . .
