‘Endless Love’ is the story of Jade and David. Jade is a shy, reclusive girl who has kept her life limited to her books and her studies.

This is perfectly timed with her chance meeting with David, a jolly boy who indulges in pranks and mischiefs. He had liked Jade for a couple of years but could never express his feelings for her. As their friendship blooms, they start falling for each other. But, not everyone is happy with their relationship.
