- Synopsis
- Mona Ghuman (37) was always the black sheep of the family. When her unhealthy and rebellious life comes crashing down by a serious car accident, Mona moves back into her traditional South Asian father’s house. What was meant to be a few months of rent-free sobriety turns into seven isolated years caring for her cancer-stricken father. When her father suffers a severe stroke Mona’s three successful siblings, (Rup, Sandy and Mona’s twin brother Parm) return back to the family home with a mission to fix and to help, causing Mona’s insecurities about her own unfulfilled life to deepen.
  
  The siblings soon learn their father had planned to leave all of his assets to his favorite child Parm, causing family tensions to erupt and pushing Mona to her edge. When their father suddenly passes away, Rup, Sandy and Parm make the funeral arrangements and tie up the loose ends of the family estate. In her grief, Mona falls apart and reacts in old destructive ways. It is not until her siblings intervene and she discovers that maybe she isn’t the messy, damaged woman she always thought herself as. This newfound perspective forces Mona to forgive past mistakes and take steps to a new and uncertain future.
  
  Starring Agam Darshi (Funny Boy) making her directorial debut, the comedy features Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy) as her married lover.
