It’s all about emotion in this small but powerful drama about a father’s search for his missing son in the perilous backstreets of the Philippines

A family transfers into an isolated town where the family man tends to his blind wife and illegitimate son. Soon they find out that extraordinary creatures lurking outside their house are looking for something they claim stolen from them.

Desperately finding ways to support their sickly child, Noel and Liza welcome a new addition to their family, Ben, a rich foreigner who is hoping to build a family of his own. Together they play the game of deceit and make believe, but the truth is far from being hidden as the soap operas they consume daily that vividly mirror what they have been hiding all along.

An old man Lando (Ronnie Lazaro) has buried something under his house. When he is finished, he encounters a group of white people. The chieftain (Manu Respall) demands Lando to give back something that belongs to them which he refuses. Angered, he and his tribesmen savagely killed him.
