A tale of unpredictable love which is ignited and won, lost and then ignited again, set in the historical and whimsical area of Duxton Hill in Singapore

Set against the backdrop of an aging boutique hotel, once a jewel of elegance in the heart of Singapore's Duxton Hill, a tropical rain storm brings together two unlikely singles, Clara Tan and Nicholas Tate. Their personalities and cultural backgrounds at first seem at complete odds. Unbeknown to them, their futures are very much aligned. Through the twists and turns of a potential relationship, and the trials

and tribulations of sorrow, love, friendship, courage and the Duxton Hotel's fight for survival, Clara discovers that her tendency to fall in love too fast for every single male she encounters, needs some adjustment. Her life is about

to completely turn upside down when she inherits the hotel from its billionaire owner Mr Chan, but through having to lead and re-brand the hotel towards its new beginning, she inadvertently overcomes a sensitive and socially difficult medical condition and her love for Nicholas develops, deepens and blossoms as a result of her new found confidence, on which a new life and hotel empire begins.
