Seeking a better life, Oscar Ramirez and his family decide to move from the poverty stricken rice fields of the Northern Philippine mountain ranges, and journey towards the capital mega city of Metro Manila. Upon arrival in Manila, Oscar and his family fall foul to various city inhabitants whose manipulative ways are a daily part of their survival. Oscar manages to land a job as a driver for an armoured truck company and is befriended by Ong, his senior officer. Before long, it becomes apparent that Ong, has been planning the arrival of someone just like Oscar for sometime.

A rural Filipino family discover the realities of life on the streets of the capital in director Sean Ellis's crime thriller. Forced to find work when the price of rice plummets, provincial farmer Oscar Ramirez (Jake Macapagal) sets out with his wife Mai (Althea Vega) and their two young children for the capital, Manila. Unfortunately, they soon find themselves the targets for a succession of crooks and scammers, leaving them destitute and living in a slum district. Although their fortunes seem set improve when Oscar manages to get a job working as a security guard on armoured cars, he soon finds himself conflicted when his partner Ong (John Arcilla) places temptation in his way by suggesting they steal a shipment of drugs money.
