It is a gay romantic comedy film about Tien (Tony Yang), a romantic Taiwanese male, who takes a trip to visit an online boyfriend in person for the first time. Finding his internet relationship to not be suitable for his real life, he moves on with his life and rooms with an old time friend of his, Yu (King Chin).
Playboy Pai (Duncan Lai) plays the love interest of Tien in this movie. Yu desperately tries to keep Tien away from Pai, who is a well-known Casanova in Taipei’s gay community. Yu even goes to the extent of hiring a hustler for Tien.
