Four hapless British jihadists with varying degrees of commitment, understanding, and competence embark on a misguided quest to commit an act of terror and become martyrs for their cause. Omar, the ostensible leader of the group, struggles to align his extremist ideologies with the love for his moderate Muslim family. He is determined to carry out a spectacular attack to make a statement. While Omar’s commitment is fueled by a twisted sense of purpose, his friend Waj is impressionable and easily influenced, lacking any real understanding of the cause he has been swept into. The group is completed by the harebrained Faisal, who tries to train crows to be bombers, and the antagonistic and conspiracy theorist Barry, who is a white convert insisting on targeting a local mosque to radicalize the moderates.

In their quest, they encounter a series of blunders and comic misunderstandings, exposing the farcical nature of their extremist ambitions. The group argues over plans and methods, with Barry advocating for more chaotic and broad attacks, while Omar seeks a more focused event. Their bumbling journey towards terrorism is marked by petty squabbles, ineptitude, and a clash of ideologies within the group, which reveals the contradictions and hypocrisies of their mission. They exhibit a combination of ignorance and earnestness that complicates standard narratives about radicalization and portrays a darkly comic view of the complexities and absurdities of life as an extremist.
