Safa and Aisha are best friends. The two Pakistani-British women from London's East End have known each other for what feels like forever. But now, at 21, they are about to enter the workforce, and their paths diverge for the first time: While Aisha starts as a teaching assistant at her old school and becomes increasingly interested in her roots, Safa begins working as a marketing assistant at a trendy advertising agency and adapts more and more to her new upper-class colleagues in terms of language, clothing, and behavior. After a terrorist attack, both women suddenly find themselves under suspicion because of their Muslim heritage. The question of assimilating into mainstream society or remaining true to their own roots becomes increasingly pressing – and their friendship is put to a severe test.
