Returning to a Spanish-ruled Philippines, a young idealist plans a school to lift his town, only to collide with friar power, venal officials, and a web of fear. Love is tested, innocence shattered, and a festival night turns violent. Exile, betrayal, and a false saint’s mask expose a society sick at its core—and a generation awakening to justice.
