A comic take of three Asian women who escape prison for the day when one of them discovers her only son is about to marry and move to Malaysia. Rehana is in prison for murdering her husband, Neetu for fraud involving a pyramid scheme, and Fozia for stealing gold jewellery from her boss's shop with her accomplice and husband, Bashir. 
When Rehana learns of her son Adil's impending wedding she tries to act pleased but Fozia can see right through it - this is her only son's wedding, she can't sit back and do nothing! Rehana believes she can, Neetu is inclined to agree but Fozia takes it upon herself to approach the Chief, a dangerous prisoner who practically runs the prison from her cell, to see if she can help.
