The life of a business banker is 24/7, dan bagi Andrea, banker muda yang tengah meniti tangga karier di salah satu bank terbesar di Indonesia, rasanya ada 8 hari dalam seminggu. Power lunch, designer suit, golf di Bintan, dinner dengan nasabah, kunjungan ke proyek debitur, sampai tumpukan analisis feasibility calon nasabah, she eats them all. Namun di usianya yang meninjak 29 tahun, Andrea mungkin harus mengubah prioritasnya, karena sekarang ada Adjie, the most eligible bachelor in banking yang akan segera menikahinya. So she should be smiling, right? Not really. Tidak di saat ia harus memilih antara jabatan baru dan pernikahan, menghadapi wedding planner yang demanding, calon mertua yang perfeksionis, target bank yang mencekik, dan ancaman denda 500 juta jika ia melanggar kontrak kerjanya. Dan tidak ada Manolo Blahnik atau Zara atau Braun Buffel yang bisa memaksanya tersenyum di saat ia mulai mempertanyakan apakah semua pengorbanan karier yang telah ia berikan untuk Adjie tidak sia-sia, ketika ia menghadapi kenyataan bahwa tunangan sempurnanya mungkin berselingkuh dengan rekan kerjanya sendiri. Welcome to the world of Andrea Siregar, the woman with the most rational job on the planet as she is making the most irrational decisions in her own personal life.
