He's spotted her numerous times during his holiday, but they've never met. It's now his mission to find her, and romance her. Roman...oh, Roman... just go home. In the midst of his search, Roman witnesses a brutal killing. Ever the good citizen, he reports the murder but the police discover no evidence-all they have is Roman's testimony.
