Miyo is a 28-year-old nursing dropout turned coconut farmer born of a superstitious family in Quezon province. He had to stop his degree to follow the command of his superstitious parents. He is a brother to a 9-year-old girl who died of an unknown disease because his father refused to take her to a hospital. Nilda, Miyo's mother, died of depression due to her daughter's death. From then, he alienated his father and started living on his own hoping that one day he will have a chance to avenge his sister and her mother. Years passed, Marse, Miyo's faith-healer father, contracted a severe illness. With the extreme belief in the magic of quack doctors, Marse refused to seek professional medication. But fearing that his life might end soon, Marse moves to make peace with his son as his last will. The possible death of Marse was a glimpse of hope of the revenge that Miyo wants for his mother and sister. Marse continues to see a number of faith healers that he knows. Until the "highest" of the faith healers advised him to see a real doctor or he would die before the weekends.
