Synopsis

Amar is a history lecturer—about as strait-laced as they come. His girlfriend, Nina, is a barista at a café who lives by YOLO (You Only Live Once). He is a studious and precise nerd who'd rather read a book in a quiet garden; she is a feisty, spontaneous free spirit who hikes mountains and dances in the street. But while Nina is completely smitten by Amar, Amar doubts his feelings. Does Nina really fit into his life's plans? Is she really wifey material? Meanwhile, Nina is approached by a woman named Didi. From the way she dresses, it's obvious she's from 'out-of-town'. She tells Nina that she was assigned to bring her back. And Nina knows exactly what she's talking about.

Thing takes an unexpected turn when Amar, after rejecting Nina's spontaneous marriage proposal, sees her being taken away by a mysterious hooded man. They disappear into the back office of the café where she works. Amar gives chase, bumping into Didi but as they step through the door, they are no longer in the café.

Or rather, they're no longer in the café Amar knows. This one looks different, both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. Amar has entered a whole other dimension and to this surprise, this is only one of a thousand parallel universes, each one unique and governed by its own rules. Searching for his missing girlfriend, Amar forms an unlikely partnership with Didi as they jump from dimension to dimension. In each new world, Amar discovers a version of Nina with different qualities - some better, some worse, and some perfect - but in each encounter, he learns more about why his Nina is the one for him.

However, his cosmic road trip also exposes a series of secrets as he realizes his Nina isn't who she says she is. What is she running from? Why was Didi sent after her? And will Amar and Nina end up together or are they destined to remain star-crossed?
