Plot

Dr. Roberto "Bobby" Guerrero is a Manila-based surgeon who came home to his hometown of San Roque unexpectedly after he heard that his father, Roman, who was a town mayor was injured during a gunfight that killed Edmond Velez, son of Congressman Velez, Roman's political rival who is involved in illegal logging. A furious Congressman Velez wanted to seek justice for the death of his son. So, his other son, Reyland ordered to kill Roman while recuperating at the hospital. During Edmond's funeral, Bobby saw his ex-girlfriend Noemi, who is now Rico's partner. Bobby would found out from Noemi's mother that she was raped by Rico. Reyland was arrested after one of his men Torralba, said that he was the one who ordered to kill Roman. Rico then devised a plan to have Reyland escape. His men invaded the police station and took Reyland, then killed Torralba. Roman then killed Reyland after he gunned down the getaway car of Reyland before escaping. Rico then formulated a plan to kill Roman. At the municipal hall, two policemen came and tell Roman that he's invited to the Provincial Police Office to discuss issues about the feud between him and Congressman Velez. En route to the Provincial Police Office, the car stopped and shot Roman. Bobby and Paolo who was following them, tried to revive Roman, but it's too late. It found out that Rico was the one who ordered two men to disguise himself as police officers and lure Roman. After paying the killers, Rico killed them in order to silence them. With the death of Roman, Vice Mayor Mario Ocampo, an ally of Congressman Velez assumed as mayor. This makes Paolo, more furious because Congressman Velez is now in full-control of San Roque. During a party to celebrate Mario's assumption as mayor, Paolo fired shots at them, Rico then shot Paolo while inside the municipal hall. Bobby tried to go to stop Paolo from hurting anyone, but it was too late. Noemi then heard Rico talking to his father on how they will eliminate Bobby. Noemi warned Bobby to leave San Roque before it is too late. With the death of his father and brother, he is now ready to make Congressman Velez pay for his sons. Because of this, Congressman Velez ordered Mario to file criminal charges against Bobby and setup checkpoints in all roads leaving San Roque. When Bobby and his mother Norma about to leave, Mario and some police officers came to arrest Bobby. But, it turned into a gunfight and Norma was injured. As there was no other way out, Bobby and Norma went into an abandoned warehouse to hide.

Bobby then went to the Congressman Velez's house and took Noemi out. Noemi told Norma that the Velez's will not stop until they kill Bobby. But Norma told Bobby to stop what he's doing and go to Manila. But Bobby insisted that while the Velez's are still here, this will never end.

While attending Mass, Congressman Velez was surprised upon seeing Bobby. He then asked Bobby not to kill him. As Rico and Mario came, one of Mario's men told him that he knows where Bobby is hiding. Avenging his father's death, Rico, Mario and his men went to Bobby's hideout. During a gunfight, Norma was killed by Mario and he took Noemi as his hostage. Mario then told Bobby to drop his gun. Rico said to Mario to make Bobby see Noemi being killed. But, Bobby shot Mario, but he was shot by Rico and Bobby repeatedly shot Rico.

A voiceover said that although Bobby survived he was charged and convicted for his crimes. The court then gave him a minimum sentence considering the reason behind his actions.
