While out with his best friend and fellow vlogger pal Maz, Adi is approached by a fan, Lee, who offers him an idea for his next video.

A braggart absorbed in writing his own online legend with feats of strength can’t carry off being shoved underground for a spiritual experience
Adi is the kind of loud-mouthed wide boy you’d change seats to get away from in a restaurant. Although married to longsuffering Amira (Priya Blackburn) and the father to adorable little girl Mia (Layla Hady), Adi has been seduced away from his family by the siren-song of the vlogging life and spends all his time making videos for his precious channel. His speciality is supposedly feats of strength and endurance in the vein of recently disgraced Mr Beast, although maybe he cheats when the camera is off.
One day, in a shisha bar with his best mate/main enabler Maz (Mim Shaikh), Adi meets a fan, Lee who suggests a new challenge. Meet Lee and the circle of Sufi Muslim mystics he hangs with and...
