When overachieving perfectionist Mmabatho Nkomo meets her fiancé’s traditional Indian family for the first time, her desperate attempt to make a good impression goes badly wrong. She accidentally exposes her future father-in-law’s secret affair. With Diwali only days away, Mmabatho must navigate unfamiliar cultural territory and try to reunite the family she has torn apart — without creating even more chaos.
