Synopsis

Rocky Santillan's (Jericho Rosales) father was a policeman who was murdered. His mother sustained a fatal heart attack as she mourned her husband's lifeless body on the beach. Margaret/Garie (Carmen Soo) was very happy to see her father, Ronaldo Dimaandal (Albert Martinez), again and was excited to spend time with both her mom & dad, but she awoke the next morning to find out he had gone again. Garie and her mom then went to live with a relative who didn't think much of her dad (Garie's Grandmother and Eunice's mother).

After 15 years, Rocky has become a PDEA Agent and has gone to Malaysia for an important assignment. While there, he secretly leads an investigation into his father's death, which remains unsolved though Rocky can still remember the face of the man who visited his dad before he was murdered (Garie's dad). Meanwhile, Garie still yearns for her father. She still believes that her father left against his will and plans to go to the Philippines to look for him.

One busy day, when both of them are in a rush, they collide and fall into each other's arms.
