Bite Me, Royce Taslim is a humorous and heartwarming story about Agnes, a determined teenager whose carefully planned future falls apart in an instant. After an accident ruins her chances at a track scholarship, she decides to enter an international stand-up comedy contest as a new path forward.

Royce represents everything Agnes despises—privilege, popularity, and physical perfection—but as they compete, she discovers that his perfect image hides insecurities and vulnerabilities. The story explores their rivalry as it evolves into something unexpected, and as the competition heats up, so do their feelings for each other. Through humor, competition, and growing understanding, Agnes learns that the best parts of life often come unprepared, leading to a surprising and heartfelt conclusion.
