    After the death of his mother, 12-year-old Hector arrives in Manila to live permanently with his grandmother, Lita, a woman whom he has never met.

    Shortly after arriving, Hector meets Sel, a neighborhood teenage girl, and Miguel, along with Miguel's Barkada (street gang). Hector longing to find a connection to his new environment joins this group of petty hustlers in the hopes of getting closer to Sel, until one night Hector's initiation takes a wrong turn. Hector's clumsy actions get him caught while breaking into the home of Jose, a 59-year-old former photographer.
