Aaron and Anita are in lust. They''re the last to think there could be any long-term future in the relationship. At thirty, Anita is, according to her mother Chitra, past her sell by date, whilst Aaron is, according to his mother Leticia, a heartless ladykiller. But despite their own uncertainties, the couple can''t help but eventually fall for each other.

As their relationship deepens, they have to introduce their families to each other and Anita''s mother is not impressed when she meets her future Jamaican born son-in-law for the first time. Aaron and Anita come face to face with the prejudices and fears of both sets of in-laws who seem to group together in opposition to their union. Will their love survive the test?
