Neil eagerly anticipates his reunion with his girlfriend, Hiya, after a year spent long distance. However, when he picks her up at the airport he’s taken aback to find a workaholic version of his once carefree partner. 

As he spirals down memory lane, Hiya accidentally ruins a surprise he’d had planned for them. This comical mishap brings back the Hiya he once knew and reignites the spark they once had.
