According to the series synopsis, Amina is quickly swept up in the band's anarchic energy, but she later "becomes torn and caught up between two different worlds – that of her more strait-laced university friends... and the world of Lady Parts. Will she be the key to the band’s success? And - will she finally find a husband?"
