“Isang halik lang dapat… pero bakit parang gusto kong ulitin?” ani Alexis Vergara sa sarili, habang hinahabol ang sariling hininga matapos ang mainit na tagpo sa pagitan nila ni Ralph Santillian — ang bestfriend ng ex niyang cheater na si Julio. Isang gabing puno ng emosyon, galit, at alak, nagbago ang lahat sa isang iglap. Ang halik na dapat ay para lang ipamukha kay Julio na hindi siya nasira, ay bigla na lang nag-iwan ng init at kaguluhan sa puso’t isipan ni Alexis.

At paano kung ang dating kasunduan ay maging totoo na sa mata ng batas… at sa tibok ng puso?
