Which girl does not dream of meeting "The One"? Chang Li-Ann (Wong Li Lin), a delightful dreamer, strongly believes in meeting the love of her life.

She puts her faith in an obscure Irish leap year tradition that states a woman has the right to ask anything of a man on this day and he cannot refuse her.
