Sylvester Sim is a Coffee shop owner's son & assistant who is brooding and quiet. Sylvester pines for long-time love interest Dawn but lacks the courage to express his feelings. While concerned about his widowed father, Sylvester is adamant about pursuing his dreams of music, despite his dad’s indignant efforts in getting him to take over his drinks stall. His willingness to brave any storm for party-animal Dawn erupts with disastrous effects.
