When Mobeen learns that his little sister Aks has been suspended from school for fighting, he realises that he might not be the best role model to parent her. So when he bumps into two notorious uncles after Friday prayers, they suggest that an arranged marriage might bring a much-needed female perspective into Aks's life.

Initially Mobeen quashes the idea, but upon reflection with best friends Eight and Nate, he comes to the realisation that an arranged marriage might very well be the answer to all his problems. Uncle Habib arranges for him to meet Khadijah and her father, but things don't quite go to plan when 'weird' Uncle Shady also turns up to the meeting. Show less
