When Nar's boyfriend gets down on one knee and proposes to her in front of a room full of drunk strangers in a San Francisco bar, she realises it's time to find someone who shares her idea of romance.
Enter her mother who wants Nar to settle down with a nice Armenia boy. Armed with a spreadsheet of Facebook-stalked men, she convinces Nar to attend 'Explore Armenia', a month-long festival of events in the city. But it's not the parentally-approved playboy doctor or wealthy engineer who catches her eye - it's Erebuni, a cool and intriguing young woman fully intouch with her heritage. Suddenly, with Erebuni as her guide, the events feel like far less of a chore, and much more of an adventure.
Erebuni helps Nar see the beauty of their shared culture and makes her feel understood in a way she never has before. But there's one teeny problem: Nar's not exactly out as bisexual.
