Rocco Espiritu (Xian Lim) and Rocky Dela Cruz (Kim Chiu) have one thing in common:they are both in need of money, fast.
On the eve of his 25th birthday, the day he’s set to receive money from his trust fund, Rocco parties, gets drunk, and loses all his money on a poker match. Now he has to produce the amount, otherwise he will lose the client he needs to defeat his father’s TV commercial production company. Meanwhile, Rocky also needs money to pay the rent, otherwise her family will be homeless.
