A young Cupid is exiled and turned into a Phobe for his disinterest in finding a romantic partner. He now goes by the name Finn and now has to feed off the fear of snakes, who he finds himself able to communicate with, in order to survive.

This is how he meets Lillian, a girl who suffers from such a fear. After staying with her for a while, alongside his pet snake Roy, Lillian initiates a kiss with Finn, causing him to start dating her, believing he will finally feel romantic love and become a Cupid again.

Then he realizes he is aromantic, and now he must tell Lillian the truth and break up with her, without breaking her heart in the process.
