In the heart of Manila, beneath a flickering bridge, two lives collide.
Kiano is clever and determined, dreaming of becoming a lawyer, a dream that feels impossible against the weight of the streets. Dax is fierce and protective, a survivor who has claimed the bridge as his own.
When Kiano arrives seeking shelter, their worlds clash. Dax sees defiance and cleverness where Kiano sees survival, Kiano sees care and courage where Dax sees only dominance. Forced together by storms, street gangs, and the relentless city, they must navigate tension, trust, and desire.
As rain pours over steel beams, Kiano and Dax discover intimacy in stolen glances, shared shelter, and quiet gestures, love growing in the margins of a city that forgets them. Even amidst hardship and neglect, they learn that connection can bloom, hearts can open, and hope can endure.
Where the rain falls first, so do hearts,
and sometimes, they fall together.
