Rebellious London Muslim girl Shahanara has always had a problem trying to live the way her parents want her to. But now she is changing from her pink hotpants into a saree, and giving up her boyfriends, so she can meet her husband at the airport. She's only met him once before, when she agreed to be married off by her Bangladeshi family. She was trying to heal old wounds with her father, who had banished her from her family because of her Western ways. Meanwhile her devout Muslim sister Hushnara is being groomed for her own arranged marriage, something that at 19 she doesn't feel at all ready for. As the big day comes closer hormones and tempers rise!
