Plot

Edgar's family is caught in a financial ruin after being involved in a Ponzi scheme. With their church's bishop refusing to return their donation, and his daughter subsequently kidnapped, he seeks the aid of his criminally inclined family.

Sinekatalog’s take

A taut Filipino crime drama about a family ruined by fraud and a father pushed toward violence. Gripping and morally murky. Great for viewers who like intense, character-driven thrillers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
