Plot

David (Ace Vergel) is presented as Congressman Ampil's (Eddie Gutierrez) adopted son and his hitman. He works for his father figure and does what he is told.

Sonya (Maricel Soriano) is a tomboy fishmonger who always carries a balisong. They collide when he accidentally causes Sonya to fall on the creek with the tricycle. She leaves her ledger and he returns it.

He is called Berting by her. When they are ambushed by a rival group, their enemy shoots Sonya's younger sister (Assunta De Rossi). He sends her to the hospital to help his father. There she reveals that her father was killed by Ampil's men in the line of duty. As he learns her secret, his trust in his father slowly slips away. As he tries to reason with his father, the latter denies his request. A mysterious man trudges through a file case and finds a folder.

David goes to retrieve the folder. Although the rival group bribes him to defect, he declines and burns the money. He kills the lawyer and the traitor and retrieves the briefcase. He is later betrayed by his former friends who try to kill him. He survives and hides in Sonya's house. He hides the case and the folder in Sonya's care. They are unsuccessfully attacked by Ampil's men. His sidekick (Christopher Roxas), still loyal to him, warns David of what Ampil would do next. He is spotted by Sonya's little sister as the one she had last seen before she was shot. Sonya becomes furious with David/Berting for lying about his identity. She is captured by Ampil. She is about to be frozen when David emerges. A lengthy firefight ends in a three-way duel between Ampil, David, and the henchman. Ampil and the henchman die.

Sonya and David marry, after several delays and a fallen balisong.
