Starring Zoe Renee and Simone Missick, it is a coming-of-age story about a Black Muslim teenage girl, Summer, who converts to Islam at her mother's behest.

Summer begins to feel torn as she enjoys certain aspects of the Muslim faith but also the freedom of the secular life she lived before her conversion.

Jade visits Summer at her father's apartment and tells her that as long as she is practicing safe sex and the relationship is consensual she supports her.

Summer learns that she has been accepted to school for dance and, with the support of her parents and the reluctant approval of Tahir's mother, continues her relationship with him.

The website's critics' consensus reads, "A coming-of-age story distinguished by sensitivity and strong performances, Jinn heralds debuting writer-director Nijla Mu'min as a remarkable talent.

Club, Katie Rife stated, "It presents Islam, a religion too often demonized in Western media, as a compassionate faith, and the women who practice it as independent and strong.

"[8] In a review for Variety, Amy Nicholson wrote, "Jinn” is the rare coming-of-age story that doesn't simply pat kids on the head and tell them they just need to love themselves.
