Nalilimitahan nga ba ang bilang ng tibok ng puso para sa isang tao? Ang gusto lang naman ni Xei, isang estudyante mula sa Section I ng isang science high school, ay matataas na grades at tahimik na "crush" life. Tanggap naman niya na imposibleng magustuhan siya ng crush niyang sobrang nagpatibok ng puso niya sa una pa lang nilang pagkikita at heartthrob ng batch nila -- si Kyle. Pero magugulo ang tahimik niyang buhay nang dahil sa mga di inaasahang pangyayari: nang magustuhan siya ng kaibigan ni Kyle na si Chris, nang magustuhan ni Kyle ang kaibigan niyang si Rai . . . at nang mapalapit siya kay Kyle na mas nagpalala ng mga nararamdaman niya. Dito higit matututunan ni Xei na hindi lang basta-basta sinusunod ang tibok ng puso, lalo na kung may masasaktan -- kailangang pag-aralan din.
