Story Description 2.0: In 2011, this was the beginning of an unexpected but mysterious love story of a mid-thirties man and an eighteen-year-old college girl who was going to start in the middle on the rainy street of Cubao. Isang simpleng dalagitang nagmula sa probinsya at isang manong taga-Maynilang ngayon pa niyang nakilala. Isang modernang Maria Clara at isang old-fashioned na tilang napag-iwanan ng panahon. Isang estudyante at isang journalistang mula sa isang makontrobersyal na dyaryo. Sadyang nag-krus ang landas nila dahil sa lakas ng ulan sa Cubao. Isang araw lamang silang magkasama, nagkapehan, sabay nilang mapakinggan ang awiting Back to December ni Taylor Swift habang pinagmamasdan ang sikat ng araw sa hapon, at nagkahiwalay. Hanggang sa dumating ang araw ay muli na silang magkikita. Ano kaya ang susunod na eksena ng dalawa? Kung mag-beh couple nga sila, bakit mananatiling 'walang label' lang ang status nila? Anu-ano kayang mga hadlang sa pagitan nila? At, sino ba talagang si Taylor Swift sa buhay nila? Abangan!
