A London schoolgirl and tireless martial-artist-in-training, Ria Khan is determined to become a world-renowned stunt woman.

How could Lena abandon her artistic dreams to become some trophy wife? But Ria soon realizes that something isn’t right, leaving her no choice but to enlist her friends in a daring mission to kidnap Lena from her own wedding.

    Nida Manzoor is the fury!
    Between this film and "We Are Lady Parts," it seems impossible for Manzoor to hit a false note. Her characters are wonderfully engaging, demanding that you root for them. I enjoyed every minute of watching these women embrace their power. Hollywood take note: female audiences are hungry for more unapologetically strong, opinionated women. I only wish more female directors of color had opportunities to tell their stories. What a far more interesting place the world would be. I also loved the soundtrack. You can tell that Manzoor loves music the way she mixes genres to emphasize the story. What a great use of the X-ray Spex song "Identity."
