A beautiful flight attendant looking for love.

A zookeeper hiding within his animal kingdom to nurse a broken heart.

A young runaway who sells roses on the streets and must rely on the kindness of strangers to survive.

It’s modern-day Saigon, where 8 million people are just trying to keep up with the pace. In four days, three complete strangers from three different walks of life will collide through maddening streets and neon nights for a chance, any chance to find human connections.
