    • Boss is a consummate ladies' man. Boss is a free spirit. Boss is a bar owner in New York City. Boss is hiding something.

      Originally from Thailand, Boss gets a call one day from his estranged friend from home, Aood. "Good news never come after midnight" - Aood is dying and wants to enjoy the little time that he has left with his loved ones Aood has a bucket list and wants Boss to help complete it.

      Boss returns to Thailand and takes on an amazing journey with Aood through their past, driving from the north of Thailand to the south, bringing gifts and closure to Aood’s past lovers: from dancer Alice, actress Noona to housewife Roong.

      As they rekindle their brotherhood through the journey, Aood’s farewell gift for Boss threatens to tear their relationship apart again. Secrets from their past are revealed, and they are confronted with an opportunity for redemption, for love – and for life in Aood’s case.
