An encounter between a rising star, Eunice, and an aspiring songwriter, Jesse, at a fateful Getai performance develops into something more. Eunice takes an interest in Jesse’s talent and offers him a job writing songs for her. Their relationship soon develops. However, when a crime lord threatens to destroy Eunice's livelihood, she'll do whatever it takes to survive, even if it means tearing her relationship with Jesse apart. Will Eunice and Jesse find their happy ending?

We hope to see all of you there!!
