Synopsis

Safiyyah's dream of launching her bioengineering career as a biracial Muslim woman is finally within reach, but her parents' move to London threatens to derail her plans. Determined to stay, she proposes a marriage of convenience to Aayan, her childhood friend now immersed in the grueling demands of his medical residency. Aayan, with his own work obstacles and past crush rekindling, agrees. As they navigate their new arrangement, what begins as a practical solution quickly becomes a rocky emotional journey. Personal and professional pressures test their bond, forcing Safiyyah and Aayan to confront their deepest fears and desires. They must decide whether to cling to what is comfortable or embrace the vulnerability of true love, risking their hearts in the process.
