In order to protect themselves from the monstrosity happening in Valenzuela, Ellias and Maya intend to relocate to the province; Daisy and Pilar regularly look into the reports and halt the string of eerie invasions; Alejandro, who is with the “mayor,” Buenavondre, silenced anyone who opposed his scheme.

When Ellias steps into the mysterious MABAYA shop, destiny ignites— a collision of belief, power, and chance. As time begins to fracture, Pilar hunts for answers to stop the spiral. Buenavondre fights to mend what’s broken without rewriting the past. Daisy tracks the chilling rise of the aswangs. Alejandro plays both sides to survive. And Maya, abandoned but unyielding, holds onto one hope: bringing Ellias back. 

A multimedia arts student named Pilar becomes devoted to capturing life through her camera, discovers a secondhand lens that reveals emotions and realities unseen by the naked eye—distorted smiles, hidden sorrows, and even figures that don’t exist. But when her enigmatic classmate Buenavondre appears fractured and blurred in every frame, Pilar is forced to confront whether the lens is exposing secrets of the world around her… or the darkness within him.
