Tina, a middle aged South Asian woman, and Tanya, a nouveau rich housewife, aspire to make a documentary. Both want to cash in on the current trend towards things Islamic. Tina is fascinated by Ibn-Ul-Haitham, a 9th century Arab scientist, whereas Tanya is more interested in portraying the past glories of Islam by resorting to cultural clichés. Tye, Tina's young drug dealer, joins the project only to intensify the tension between the women. Delusions, desire, and deceit surface as each character attempts to exploit the situation, revealing the symbiotic and parasitic aspects of urban existence.
