A comedy series offering a candid look into the lives of three 20-something Hijabis living their best lives in Australia as they endure the unseen everyday culture clash between their faith and desire.
After getting passed over for a promotion, Mouna, a 20-something workaholic Hijabi, decides to take control of her 'naseeb' (destiny!) but her pushy fiancée, Tarek, and overbearing family have other plans in store for her.
When Mouna misses 'suhoor' (morning meal) during Ramadan, her limits are tested when she's tasked with buying a new outfit to meet Tarek's parents and comes up against a gossiping group of Hijabis while absolutely starving.
When a new diversity position is announced at her work, Mouna must face off against Rakesh, a pansexual South-East Asian co-worker, to prove to her boss who is more diverse and suitable for the top job.
After her younger sister Fatty is catfished, Mouna must protect her family name by breaking into a private chat group of sinister men before 'nude' photos of her sister are leaked online.
During a Layliah (Muslim Hen's night), Mouna and her older cousin Foufou agree to have a 'drama-free' night with no men, but chaos ensues when Tarek turns up unannounced.
After Mouna is offered a scholarship to study at her dream grad school, family drama makes her question if she's ready to accept her uncertain future or not.
