In 2010, Sen. Gabriel Alcaraz prepares a privilege speech
revealing details of a corruption scam at the highest levels
of the government, implicating President Genoviva Obrero.
However, on the day he is prepared to deliver the speech
at the Senate, a close ally, NBI director San Juan,
is assassinated while trying to warn him of a plan
to arrest him.
