After finishing her university education overseas, Sam reluctantly returns to assist her older, pregnant sister, Trish after their parents’ sudden and tragic passing. Her grieving is clouded by a city, and a family, she can barely recognize. Meanwhile, Eric, in town for stunt work on an action movie, feels even more a foreigner. Having been away for a longer period, Eric doesn’t even speak Tagalog anymore, a fact that troubles him when he goes to visit his Lola. Meeting as former classmates, Sam and Eric connect over this shared hollow feeling and, after a late night break-in to their old high school, Sam tells Eric: “I really thought that coming back would feel more like coming home.” It’s a sentiment that pervades Sam and Eric’s personal journeys of self-discovery.
