A young kleptomaniac infuses thrill into her suffocating life by using her abaya to steal lipsticks and flash men. An office worker feels empowered through sex, shunning her inhibitions but not her hijab … until she realizes that the real veil is drawn across her desires and not her body. A British-Asian Muslim girl finds herself drawn to the jihad in Syria, only to realize the real fight is inside her. A young Pakistani bride in the west asserts her identity through the hijab in her new and unfamiliar surroundings, leading to unexpected consequences.
