Lady Parts is an all-female Muslim punk band trying to make it big in London. It is comprised of earthy cartoonist/bassist Bisma (Creator/FaithOmole), surly drummer Ayesha (Creator/JulietteMotamed), rebellious lead singer Saira (Creator/SarahKameelaImpey), and enigmatic band manager Momtaz (Creator/LucieShorthouse). Saira, the leader, feels that they're missing something and starts searching for a lead guitarist to fill out their sound. Through this, they cross paths with Amina (Creator/AnjanaVasan), a [=PhD=] candidate with a deep love of music, and manage to recruit her. Faced with a social circle that views music -- especially punk music -- as ''haram'', Amina must now juggle her commitment to the band, her crippling stage fright, and her quest for a husband.
