Shanti Naidoo and Jennifer Kandasamy are matriarchal rivals of neighbouring families, whose young adult children become romantically involved. And the last thing these two Chatsworth mothers need is to be related to one another! Well as much as they tried to keep their families apart it turned out we’re invited to the wedding!
To rekindle their marriages, best friends-turned-in-laws Shanthi and Jennifer plan a couples' getaway. But it comes with all kinds of surprises.
The in-laws head to Mauritius for the birth of their grandchild and stir up comic trouble.
