Karma is a lighthearted look at the notion of divine justice. Des, a young man with a lengthy list of pet peeves, is frustrated by the world around him until a series of coincidences begin to make him wonder if he isn’t a one-man hotspot of karmic retribution, while his devoted but long suffering girlfriend, Ciara, becomes more and more worried about his mental stability. Things come to a head when a major event pushes Deb to question if he really wants to see karma unfold all about him.
