In a seemingly idle town of San Mateo lives a couple, Crispin (MICHAEL DE MESA) and Irene (ANNA MARIE GUTIERREZ), who are very much in love with each other. Their lives suddenly take a turn for the worse as Fidel (JOEL TORRE), Crispin’s best friend, enters the scene. The couple’s nubile border (LALA MONTELIBANO) gets raped and murdered. Of this, Fidel is wrongly accused and only Irene can prove his innocence. But her testimony will lead her to admit that on the night of the gruesome crime, they were rapturously in each other’s arms. —www.tfcnow.abs-cbn.com
