When celebrity actress Ayra Natasha's glamorous life unravels in one humiliating night - a red carpet disaster, a cheating boyfriend, and a viral disappearance, she finds herself in the back seat of a stranger's car, ugly-crying into a box of tissues. Her unlikely rescuer is Imran Firdaus, an e-hailing driver with nowhere particular to be and no reason to care… except that he does.
