Strip Search follows two parallel stories examining personal freedoms vs. national security in the aftermath of 9/11; one plot involves an American woman detained in China and the other an Arab man detained in New York City.

Keith (Lombardi), a small-time drug dealer under house arrest at the home of his father (Belushi) in Baltimore, re-enters a community scarred by unemployment, neglect and deeply entrenched segregation. There, he pushes back against his surrounding limitations as he tries to find a way out of his own internal prison.
