All Dudoy and Josh ever wanted was to complete their Master's at the University of the Philippines while working as museum researcher and lecturer at the Anthropology Department (Dudoy) and research assistant and lecturer at the Institute of Chemistry (Josh). But how will they manage with all the goings-on in their lives, such as the issue of non-consensual sex, bureaucratic red tape in filing permits, discrimination, moving into a new apartment, field sampling, cacti sprouting out of nowhere, low wages, propping the informal economy, nosy relatives, and many things besides? With the help of friends like Bodj and Lisa, and a little nudge from rapper Gloc-9, will they even have time to discover love's true gender?
---------------------------------
Ang gusto lang naman nina Dudoy at Josh ay matapos ang kanilang Master's sa UP habang nagtatrabaho bilang museum researcher at lecturer sa Anthropology Department (Dudoy) at research assistant at lecturer sa Institute of Chemistry (Josh). Ngunit paano nila matatapos ang kanilang degrees sa daming kaganapan sa mga buhay-buhay, mula sa issue ng non-consensual sex, red tape sa pagkuha ng mga permit, discrimination, paglipat ng apartment, field sampling, nagsusulputang cacti, mababang sahod, pagtaguyod ng informal economy, mga pakialamerong kamag-anak, at marami pang iba? Sa tulong ng mga kaibigang sina Bodj at Lisa, at sa pag-udyok na rin ni Gloc-9, magkapanahon pa kaya silang matuklasan ang tunay na kasarian ng pag-ibig?

Rocket Grimalde is the not-so-known playboy of Eastern Hills International School. Sa kabila ng reputasyon nito bilang dakilang palikero, the school never heard his exes bad-mouth him. Wala itong naging reklamo sa lalaki bukod sa mabilisan nitong pakikipaghiwalay sa kanila. They want more from him, but he don't.
He wants another.
He wants Blythe Ong, ang star student ng Humanities strand. Sa lahat ng niligawan niya, ito lang ang pinakamakipot sa lahat. He persuaded her persistently pero binasted lang siya nito sa huli. Ang rason? Bobo daw siya.
And Rocket is determined to make her realize how wrong she was. He's not dumb. He's far from that and only Ville Abellar, the well-known brainy bayaran ng school nila, ang makakatulong sa kanya. Will Rocket ever get to prove he's not what Blythe thought him of and snatch her heart the second time around? Or will he learn more things than what he asked for?
