A comic tale of fish out of water. When her boorish father dies, fat, unsophisticated Mousumi is sent from India to her cosmopolitan relations in London. For the glamour of the western world, she leaves behind both her forlorn mother and an amorous shopkeeper.
On arrival, she is met by the Majumdar family: Prakash - a doctor with too much heart, great cook and man-about-the-house; Tuhina - a successful investment banker, indulgent mother and minder of Ps and Qs; and Darshini - a nonchalant 18 year old, audacious coin-flipper and possessor of ethereal beauty. Such an off-beat household terrifies
Mousumi - how will she fit in? Can she meet their high standards? And will she begin to question the life she has known?
Meanwhile Darshini devotee Seph - charismatic and contradictory - leaves Ireland behind and moves to London to escape his mother's overbearing affections. But when Seph's jealously leads to violence, is it only the hapless Mousumi who can help him? And how will she help herself as back in India, her mother progresses with The Husband Hunt? A witty social comedy of cultural misunderstanding and people who simply don't get on.
