In the beginning of the present generation, a new love story awaits when Angeline, who lives a very normal life, has problems when Sally (Mylene Dizon) comes into the household and starts making those around her miserable. Sally takes her anger out on everyone only to find out that once and for all, only love and truth will prevail.
