Leila is happy living at home with Noor, her loving but traditional grandmother. But when Aleena, her fiercely independent mother, returns home from prison determined to deliver a new world of fun and excitement, their calm lives are upended in a blur of nail varnish and sweet treats.
Family secrets come tumbling into the light, and Leila finds the task of deciding on her future more difficult than she first thought.
