Kunal, a restaurant manager, and Diya, an architect, have been together since college. Tired of relatives asking when they will marry, they escape on a ten-day trip to Sicily. There they run into Ally, Diya's college friend, who now teaches dance on the island. Unsure whether Kunal really wants marriage or has simply grown used to her, Diya asks Ally to flirt with him and test his commitment. Ally agrees, warning that she does not take rejection well.
