Series 1

For junior doctor Abdulla Khan, this time of year is complicated. Torn between the Halloween party of the year and the Eid gathering his dear mother Bushra expects him to attend, Abdulla does his best to get to both.

Something’s not right. Abdulla feels out of it, he’s developed inexplicable allergies and is having insatiable cravings at work. What’s happening to him?

In a double attempt to quash some of his friends’ conspiracies around his dating life and to get some answers out of Kathy, Abdulla promises to bring her along to a dinner party at Amrita’s, his unrequited love.

Abdulla, desperate for some answers and unfaltering in his desire to find a cure to his vampirism, agrees to go on a date with Kathy at her favourite haunt.

Gate-crashing Amrita’s sister Preethi’s hen night, Abdulla is introduced as Amrita’s new Sikh boyfriend and Preethi is beyond excited to welcome him to the family. So much so that she invites, in fact insists, that he comes to the wedding.

Abdulla’s terrified of the consequences of his identity being revealed as he escapes with Amrita from the wedding. But as they come clean about their feelings for one another, she offers a potential route out for the young Muslim doctor.
