A day trip to Blackpool to see the lights a harmless break from the routine for a mini-buss full of women from the Asian Women's Centre. It all seems innocent enough but as the mini-bus trundles along to a Punjabi rendition of Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday problems quickly become apparent. Ginder is fleeing her violent husband with her 5 year old son. Hashida is eighteen about to start medical school & has just discovered that she is pregnant by her black boyfriend. Teenage sisters Madhu & Ladhu with no parent in sight are on the rampage... for a man or perhaps a boy! Asha is to discover that there is more to life & indeed romance beyond the confines of the shop counter. & the judgemental Pushpa faces her day of reckoning when she encounters some male strippers. By the end of the day a good deal more has been illuminated than just a stick of rock & a kiss-me-quick hat!
