Plot

Aprilyn, who is left by her groom, Randy, on the day of their wedding, goes viral online. Devastated, she meets Raffy who works at a PR agency hired by the father of the groom to help her move on, so that Randy will win the mayoral election when the public "forgives" him, once Aprilyn forgives him. As the storyline unfolds, it is revealed that both Aprilyn and Raffy were marked by a childhood in which they each had a parent who went overseas to work, leaving each of them impaired in their relationship abilities. Each contributes to the other's self-discovery, and over the course of the movie they gain insights into themselves and a love for one another.
