A band of street hustlers brave the dark corners of the Manila night time and into the outskirts of a forlorn country to fulfill their friend’s dying wish: to take his body home.
Manila at night is teeming with possibility – of danger but also of tenderness.
UNO meets distressed teenager ZION in a bus terminal and bonds in their brief encounter. Two years later, they meet again as hustlers booked by the same client. The night turns sour when Uno’s friend, Miguelito is found overdosed by his client. Zion reveals to Uno and his buddies, Bayani and Rush that before he passed away, Miguelito’s dying wish: to take him home.
