Storyline:
Paco is a gang leader known for starting gang wars in their slum neighborhood. Ariel “Arci” Ciriaco works as an executive assistant to Marife Delos Santos, wife of General Aldo Delos Santos. Marife asks Arci if he could be the caretaker of their house, or if she will not sponsor his plan to go to South Korea. Arci meets his long-time friend Sarah after Arci’s visa to South Korea is approved. Sarah asks Arci to take care of her sons Melvin “Megan” Gaspar and Ernie if anything happens to her, especially from the notorious crime syndicate Addicts Anonymous, who kill people who are addicted to anything.
Sarah goes to Arci’s house with a knife stabbed in her back and a placard stating that she was addicted to balut. Before dying, Sarah asks Arci to take her sons. At her funeral, Arci encountered Paco and told him that he is there to take the children. But Paco threatens him and says he will be the one to take care of his nephews until Paco decides to stay with Arci along with Megan and Ernie. He says that they will leave when he finds out who killed his sister. Megan also finds out that Arci is in love with Paco. Megan does not want to replace his mother because Paco is like a father to him and Ernie. Now, Addicts Anonymous is targeting those who are traitors in their organization. In Sarah’s diary, they discover that she had a relationship with three men, who were members of Addictus Anonymous that were later killed.
Megan and Ernie are kidnapped by Marife’s men. Paco and Arci catch Clumsy and there, she admits that the children were brought to a train station. Paco, his men, and Arci come to save Megan and Ernie. Arci enters the train and knocks down Marife. They pour gasoline and started a fire, causing the train to explode. Arci and the children escape unharmed.
