'By normal you mean like you? A slag with a saviour complex?' Nadia is an academic who's been disowned by her puritanical mother and dumped by her lover Rosy. She decides to make a getaway accepting a UN job in Iraq. Tasked with rehabilitating ISIS women Nadia becomes mired in the opaque world of international aid surrounded by bumbling colleagues. Sara is a precocious and sweary East Londoner who joined ISIS at just fifteen. Nadia is struck by how similar they are: both feisty and opinionated from a Muslim background with a shared love of Dairy Milk and rude pick-up lines. A powerful friendship forms between the two women until a secret confession from Sara threatens everything Nadia has been working for.
