== History ==
Ria trains in martial arts and practices stunts, filming bold acrobatic videos with the help of her sister Lena, who is struggling to find purpose in life after dropping out of art school. She also faces bullying from Kovacs, but has her doting best friends Clara and Alba always by her side. The Khan family attends a lavish party at the well-respected Shah family mansion at the request of matriarch Raheela who is a friend of their mothers'.
While at the party, Ria notices Lena talking to Salim, the only child of the Shah family and the two instantly hit it off. Before she knows it, Lena and Salim embark on a whirlwind romance and intend to get married. Ria is upset and feels like she's losing her best friend and sister, especially when Lena announces they'll be moving to Singapore after they are married, which is happening very soon.
Ria, alongside her friends, hatches a plan to split them up, First she tries to persuade her whole family to stop the wedding, then attempts to set Salim up by planting "used" condoms in his bedroom, but all of these attempts fail and Ria's parents ground her. 
Now an outsider to both her family and friends (after having an argument) and having given up martial arts, Ria attempts to make amends by apologising to Raheela for her actions against the Shah family. Raheela retaliates by torturing Ria by painfully waxing her body hair. Ria manages to escape and flees into the lower depths of the mansion, where she stumbles upon a secret laboratory.
Ria snoops through the files and sees that Raheela and Salim have been conducting research on the women who were at the party, with results related to fertility and womb strength. She finds Lena's file and sees that she is an "ideal candidate" for an unknown project. Ria manages to escape the Shah mansion and rushes home to tell her mother, but she thinks she is making it up as she doesn't want to lose her sister.
She apologises to Clara and Alba for their fight and come up with a heist to kidnap Lena from the wedding and save her from the Shah's evil plan. They are almost successful as Clara and Alba infiltrate the wedding and manage to kidnap Lena using chloroform. Raheela immediately notices something is going on and fights with Ria, beating her into submission while revealing her true motives: she wants a second chance at life and intends to use Salim's scientific skills to impregnate a clone of her inside Lena, essentially using her as an incubator. Raheela ties Ria up and tells Clara and Alba to return Lena or else Ria will die.
The two girls bring Lena back and Raheela leaves with her to continue with the wedding, while trapping the three young girls in a room secured with an armed bodyguard. They are saved by Kovacs who knocks out the guard and they all head to the wedding using a stolen gun.
Ria publicly stops the wedding and in-turn, the truth about Raheela and Salim's plan is revealed. She manages to escape the party with Lena while a hoard of guests and staff chase them throughout the venue. They almost make it to safety but are ambushed by the Shah family. Raheela almost kills Ria but is overpowered using a special stuntwoman move and knocks her to the ground, Lena takes out Salim and the sisters drive off. 
They stop a little while later and reconcile their differences. Ria then receives an email from her stuntwoman idol Eunice Huthart, who loved her stunt videos and offers her a chance to have brunch.
