After the failed Umbrella Revolution in 2014, lives go back to normal, but the scenes of the great protest are like yesterday for Billy and Popsy, students in the University of Hong Kong who took part in the movement. One of them now becomes a student leader, while the other chooses a low-profile life as a private tutor. Amid the rapid social changes, when the Communist Beijing government is extending their influence to Hong Kong to take away the freedom and democracy, how would the youths see their future? Do they still see hopes, when both peaceful protests and radical actions seem to be futile?

This is a city where personality traits, psychology and interest are quantified in order to assign a ‘perfect match’ for qualified members of the society. Boundaries are drawn by a state of 'perfection' maintained by the pairing system, while those wishing to find their partners at their own will are to be expelled. Growing up in the outer circle, Shun has always been longing for finding 'the one' through the pairing system. Emma, on the other hand, keeps a secret from her loving partner assigned by the system. When their paths cross, they are walking without a direction.
