"That's why human being exist-to save each other from ourselves," Elisha Cuthbert/Jordan.

Director: Yann Samuell
Writers: Victor Levin (screenplay), Jae-young Kwak (earlier screenplay), and Ho-sik Kim (novel)

The story begins at the subway station, Charlie (Bradford) met drunk Jordan (Cuthbert) that call him as her 'darling' just right before she passed out, and then the silly-relationship started.

Jordan, which played as a demanding person, always command Charlie as her accomplice and partner to do annoying thing related to her sad times after breaking with her fiance, and somehow Charlie couldn't reject it.
