After spending two years in New York to escape the grief of losing his best friend Pollo and his painful breakup with Babi (Katy Saunders), Step (Riccardo Scamarcio) returns to Rome. Trying to rebuild his life and land a job in television production, he meets Gin (Laura Chiatti), a lively, eccentric young woman who falls deeply in love with him. Step gradually opens up to Gin, and the two enter an exclusive, passionate relationship. However, Step's stability collapses when he unexpectedly runs into Babi, who is now engaged to be married. Unresolved feelings erupt, and Step betrays Gin by sleeping with Babi—only for Babi to confess she only wanted to verify whether she still loved him before going through with her wedding. Devastated by his own betrayal and Gin's subsequent discovery of the truth, Step must confront the wreckage of his choices.
