A young socialite who thinks he’s a poet is reunited with his emotionally unstable ex-fiancée as they spend Valentine’s Day chasing after his poetry book, which has been stolen along with his Ferrari.
Jad is a 30-year-old socialite who thinks he’s a poet. His family is pressuring him to take over the family toilet paper company. From the moment his ear gets cut at the barbershop and his Ferrari is stolen – with his poetry book in it – Jad’s Valentine’s Day spins out of control. Along the way, he is reunited with his emotionally unstable ex-fiancée, Zena, who insists on helping him. A black comedy of errors ensues as they set off a domino effect of complications, and end up being pursued by the legendary detective, Abu George.
