When he falls in love with Ellen, a strong-willed radio talk-show host who is set to move to Paris within a few days, he decides he must find a way to keep her from leaving. Meanwhile, Antonio's friend Apu faces a love challenge of his own.

Apu is caught between the old world and the new--trying to find love and happiness within the confines of his pre-determined destiny.
