SYNOPSIS
Due to a road rage between two buses, an accident occurs
which puts the lives of its passengers in jeopardy. But the
ones greatly affected by such event are a middle-aged
woman named Fiesta (Eugene Domingo), an old and retired
family patriarch Tonio (Leo Martinez), and a lad named
Caloy (Enchong Dee). These three people are pierced
through a single steel bar – a dangerous situation that even
their doctors find hard to solve. But even before this
unfortunate circumstance, these three have their
share of ill-fated lives.
Fiesta is a bus barker of Janus Express whose life
revolves around taking care of her demented father
Carding. Being a dedicated daughter to Carding turns
her into a lonely spinster that scares men away
with her fierce and masculine demeanor. Until she
meets Nato (Jake Cuenca), a new driver hired by
Janus Express that eventually wins her heart. But
just when she thought that shell finally have her
far-fetched happiness with Nato, things start to
get complicated when she finds out Natos
painful secret.
Tonio is a retired old man who after getting
past his prime and being a refuge to his family,
now wants to fulfill his shrugged off dream
of becoming a baker. He decides to use his
pension to fulfill this dream. At first,
his own family is skeptical about it but he
eventually gets their support along with his
friends to make it happen. Now, its all up to
him to make this work and find out if this is
a dream worth all that risk.
Caloy is a young man preserving his virginity for his girlfriend
Angel (Empress). They have made an agreement to give up their
virginities to each other and only to each other. However, Caloy
gets challenged to remain faithful to this pact because of the
difficulties of the long distance relationship she shares with
Angel. Moreover, he starts to doubt the loyalty of Angel to him
and to their relationship because of a guy named Jun Rey who
is seemingly getting involved with his girlfriend.
