Pearl (Karena Lam) has quietly fallen in love with her boss Tom (Ekin Cheng), who's married with a family. Without warning, Tom asks Pearl to interview for another job. Wounded, Pearl demands that Tom terminate her. The gauntlet has been thrown down. In a space as small, crowded and claustrophobic as the office, love doesn't grow - it incubates and breeds, like a virus.
