Storyline
A young Chinese-Malaysian Canadian woman with a pastor father is about to leave for Waterloo University in the fall, and fears her boyfriend may break up with her due to the long distance, if she doesn’t further develop their physical relationship. As a result, she attempts to use a sexual loophole to keep him interested, despite her belief of abstinence before marriage.
