SYNOPSIS

Nikita, a middle-aged South-Asian woman, spends the night with a sexy white man, Jeremy. Before he can sneak out the next morning, her parents, Shailaja and Anthony, drop by unannounced. Anthony desperately needs to use the loo. Meanwhile, Jeremy is hiding in the shower.
​
The men are locked in and Nikita tries to act normal, but Shailaja senses something is off. Suspicious, she snoops around. Anthony, oblivious, soon gets out and rests in front of the TV.
​
Suddenly, a loud crash is heard—Jeremy tried to escape, but he slipped and knocked himself out. Chaos ensues.
​
Shailaja quickly pieces things together and scolds Nikita for her “adulterous” ways. Oh yes, Nikita is married. Her husband, Brian (also white—she has a type), has been away so they agreed to open their marriage. Shailaja is scandalized. She should’ve never let her daughter marry a white man!
​
As old wounds resurface, Nikita confesses she did not enjoy “opening her marriage” with Jeremy. She only agreed to it because she feared she wasn’t enough for her husband. Shailaja’s heart softens. Only she is allowed to think her daughter isn’t good enough, not some random Brian. Nikita and Shailaja finally see eye to eye.

Jeremy is carted off to the hospital. Mother and daughter join father on the couch—just another day in Nikita’s life.
