    Wayne is a silver-tongued master of the dating game, one who knows how to deliver just the right words in just the right way in order to transform any woman he wants into candy in his hands, to be devoured, savored, and forgotten at his pleasure. When he goes out on a blind date with the mysterious Nayantara, however, he will learn there are no such things as sweet nothings.
