Spoilers ahead
Kelia, a reserved individual, embarks on a new journey as she enrolls in a prestigious business school in France, which some suggest is HEC Paris. It is at a lively party that she crosses paths with Dan, an underappreciated second-year student with a keen intellect, albeit one that is often overshadowed by a cold, calculated approach to the commercial value of everything around him. Dan’s roommate, Jaffar, consistently struggles to make an impression on women, which sets the stage for an intriguing dynamic among the trio.
