On the shadowy, noir-tinged streets of Manila, multiple realities co-exist and intertwine as the two friends seek a cure for the magical malady. He teams up with Ignacio, a well-connected friend who promises to hook him up with the Diwata and their magical treatments-a quest that's not only risky but highly illegal!

Lambana-the realm of supernatural fairies known as Diwata-has fallen, and the Magic Prohibition Act has been enacted. Immerse yourself in a fantasy world of Filipino myth, magic, and supernatural suspense!
