Riki, a confused 30-year-old art graduate, seems to be sure that her life is always under control, even when everything goes crazy. While she is looking for a wedding dress, her boyfriend Asher, an unemployed actor, confesses of having second thoughts about the wedding. Her life gets even messier when her bizarre-rock-singer sister invading her place with a group of freaks, her psychologist starts to behave in an unprofessional way and her fiance starts fooling around.

Now Riki has a goal, she wants to win Asher back. In order to achieve that she uses an old familiar trick: to make him jealous.

Riki’s plan is working and she is on her way to marry Asher, but in a surprising last minute twist Riki has to evaluate her life choices again.
