Maihahambing ang masalimuot na kasaysayan sa isang sirang plaka, at si La ang siyang maestro ng musikang kinagigiliwan ng madla. Sa bawat kumpas ng kaniyang mga kamay, isang henerasyon ang nalulunod sa matamlay na paghihintay. Tunay ngang may mga sugat na ayaw maghilom sa kabila ng pagkakabaon. At kung naibaon man, tila isa pa rin itong bangkay na paulit-ulit na pinagpapasa-pasahan sa ilalim ng pareho pa ring araw at buwan. Kahit ilang tasa pa ng mapait na kape ang lalaklakin, at kahit maging kasingtalas na ng patalim ang dilang marumi, nananatili pa rin ang ingay ng katahimikang minana ni La mula sa kaniyang angkan. Sa mundong ang liwanag ay sadyang ipinagkakait, masasaksihan pa ba ang tinatawag nilang bahaghari? O mananatili na lang bang bilanggo sa parehong lupain, habang ang mga anino ni La ay patuloy na sumasayaw sa ibabaw ng mga pangarap ng iba?

White - purity, faithfulness, and commitment. Dare stained it and everything will be shaky, leaving a casualty. When breaking a bone, perhaps it will still be mended. But will it be the same as before? For Solis, it will never be. It is penned forever in history. For how many years, she established a foundation of love with her husband, Hayland. Then one day, strings suddenly twisted. None of them can tell if they can still save their five years of marriage from a three-week storm surge. She's trying to understand and acknowledge the pain. He's trying to correct what is now a shattered piece.

For JP (Pablo Nase), when love is pure, it will surely hurt and it will always leave an after-taste but not in the sense of breaking, losing yourself, burying your trust into the ground, and to seek for a toxic alternative just to cope up. It didn't hurt like how you died in the arms of your beloved while he was stained with the fragrance of other flowers. However, it is what JP tasted after how many years of heaven in Felip's (Ken Suson) lair.
