Kumar (Kumail Nanjiani) was born in a very traditional Pakistani family. As an adult, he chose to become a comedian. In a stand-up performance, Kumar met a girl named Emily (Zoe Kazan). The passion that he thought would last one night spread from the dark night to the day. In the end, they found that each other was the other half they had been looking for, and the two came together. However, Kumar's family asked him to follow the tradition of arranged marriages in Pakistan, and chose a Muslim girl for him, urging him to return home to get married. At the same time, a strange disease attacked Emily, causing her to fall into a coma. Kumar chose to stand with Emily's family and get through this difficult time together. At the same time, he had to resist the pressure from his parents.
