The picture of nobody

Summary: Tommy lives with his family in Ajax, a small town close to Toronto. His parents are Ismaili Muslims who immigrated to Canada before Tommy was born. Tommy, a shy, chubby 17 year old, feels like an outsider. The arrest of a terrorist group in Toronto turns Tommy's world upside down. Now he experiences the sting of racism at the local coffee shop where he works part-time. A group of young men who hang out at the coffee shop begin to bully him. In spite, Tommy commits an act of revenge against the group's leader.
