Plot

The story revolves around Tupe, Rita, and Peterson — and their love triangle marred with political drama and clashing dreams.

An aspiring doctor, Tupe gets falsely accused as being involved in the corrupt activities of his government official associated father, wrecking his relationship with Rita. Years after Tupe's apparent disappearance, Rita finds a new love in Peterson, who credits her for becoming a changed man as he pursues political office.

Rita and Peterson's relationship began to deteriorate after Peterson was rendered impotent due to a car accident. Believing that having a child will revive their failing marriage, Rita and Peterson decided to hire a sperm donor — in the form of Tupe, who is now a resident barrio doctor. Unbeknownst to Peterson, Tupe is Rita's greatest love. Complications will soon arise when Peterson unravels that truth behind Rita and Tupe's past, igniting his rage.
