When his landlord kicks him out after his roommate blows the rent money on [[Me Love You Long Time|Filipino hookers]], 35-year-old video game tester Alex has to find a new place to live. After trying unsuccessfully to crash at his dealer's place and a colleague's house, Alex moves in with his grandmother and her two roommates. In order to save face with his co-workers, Alex claims to be living with "three hot babes" but things get complicated when he falls for the beautiful Samantha - and discovers a romantic rival in J.P., the creator of the video game they are all working on.
