Maryam is a doctor in Saudi Arabia with two problems: one is the dirt road leading to her clinic that becomes impassable when flooded, and the other is the refusal of men to be treated, or even touched by a female doctor. While her father, a respected musician, is away on a tour, Maryam sets out on a trip to Riyadh, is in need of a chaperone and before she knows it, she is running for office. This accidental heroine takes on the cynics.
