Mushtaq’s student visa is about to run out but he’s desperate to stay in London so he can support his family back home. Working two jobs back to back he saves enough money to pay Laila, who has a flourishing business in arranging marriages of convenience. But Mushtaq’s dreams of a perfect life with a perfect wife are shattered by the reality of greed as Laila’s cunning plans unfold…
