Plot

Love + Hate is a modern love story set across the racial divide in a town in northern England. Adam has been brought up in a White British home and community that fosters racism. Naseema is a British Pakistani girl from the same town. But what Adam and Naseema really share is a secret desire to break free of their small town and its inhibitions, something they discover while working together in a DIY store. At first resistant, they cannot avoid their mutual attraction, and embark on a relationship which threatens to bring down their families as well as themselves.
