Synopsis
Luke, a rugged, manly mechanic from Essex, accidentally stumbles upon a queer Diwali party. There, he meets Aysha, a playful and flirty South Asian drag queen. Instantly drawn to this exotic beauty, Luke finds himself captivated, while Aysha quickly develops a crush on him. Yet, Luke struggles to accept his desires for Aysha and decides to run off. However, Aysha finds Luke and offers him money to become her personal driver for gigs. As they cruise from nightclub to nightclub, a deeper connection begins to form between them. Their budding relationship, however, faces significant obstacles: Luke has a son, and Aysha comes from a traditional Muslim family. They must navigate these challenges to stay together.
