Synopsis

In love, the stakes are high. When you live for no one... or when you have almost no one... will you still bet your all?

The story follows a popular guy named Drake Sison (Enrique Gil), who makes a bet with his best friend Andrei (Yves Flores), to make the nerdy transfer student, Sophia Taylor (Liza Soberano), fall in love with him in 30 days. Once she falls for him, he must confess that it was all a bet. But what if Sophia is much more clever than they thought? Would she make the tables turn? Or would Drake win against Sophia?
