One summer's evening, the police burst into a Glaswegian Asian household. The son, Ali has been arrested on suspicion of terrorism. Between cops, hacks, mullahs and militants, the Malik family discover that all was not well with their son and their world descends into siege and nightmare. Meanwhile, Ali's sister, Rukhsana refuses to comply with an arranged marriage and neighbours send bricks through the windows. Yet not everybody is an enemy. A fast-paced topical and thought-provoking experience, this is the first-ever feature film to have been made by the South Asian diaspora in Scotland. A whirlpool of domestic and international politics down which the viewers follow the Malik family into their night of darkness.
