Brought up in a conservative family, Mia has always only listened to her parents and other elders of her family. All she understands is putting others' needs before her own. But her selflessness fails to answer an important question - who is she?
On the other hand, Ryan has always lived for himself and to the fullest. Though he is bright and full of life, his nature is borderline selfish at times.
What happens when the selfish and selfless natures collide? Will they be able to teach and learn each other's traits? If so, how will it affect their worlds and their lives? Will they be able to find a middle ground, in love?
