At the tender age of 17, Nazneen's life is turned upside down. After an arranged marriage to an older man, she exchanges her Bangladeshi village for a block of flats in London's East End. Filled with loneliness and monotonous days, everything changes for Nazneen when a hot-headed young man called Karim comes knocking at her door.
