Isang simpleng babae lang naman si Chloe. Masayahin, malambing, maganda, mayaman, at sexy pa. Yun nga lang, may pagka-tanga daw kaya nga na-title siyang Ms. Tanga ni Kysler eh...
On the other hand, isang heartthrob lang naman si Kysler. Gwapo, mayaman, matalino at hot pa. Yun nga lang, napa- cold niya lalo na ng mga mata niya. At dahil dito, siya ang tinaguriang Mr. Manhid para kay Chloe...
Ngunit paano kung mas lumalim ang ibig sabihin ng kanilang mga titulo, ano kaya ang mangyayari?
Mapipigilan kaya ni Chloe ang umibig sa isang manhid, o magpapakatanga siya para rito?
Patuloy kayang magbubulag-bulagan si Kysler sa nararamdaman, o mas pipiliin ang huwag makiramdam upang hindi maulit ang nakaraan?
