Came summer and the best friends, Silas and Marchienne, have nothing to do aside from lurking around several dating applications. After swiping right on almost all potential partners (which mostly has led to such disappointment), both have had enough and agreed to try something new: for a month, they'll cut off connections with one other and travel solo to different countries. And whoever fails to bring home a partner by the end of the month owes the other a two-week-long Christmas Japan trip.
