A veteran actress of quiet elegance, Risa Hontiveros is fighting for the one thing she loves as her theater company stands on the edge of financial ruin. Her upcoming shows may well be her last. Sitting in the audience is Sherwin Gatchalian, a grounded corporate CEO dragged there against his will.

Drawn to her commanding yet gentle presence, Sherwin finds his structured life unraveling as he steps into the shadow of a theater that is running out of time.

The entire Senate knows Senator Win Gatchalian has quietly loved Senator Risa Hontiveros for years-everyone except Risa herself. To the public, they are just respected lawmakers on opposite sides of the aisle.

While their colleagues, families, and staff notice every lingering glance, a completely oblivious Risa views him as nothing more than an exceptionally kind coworker. Now, as media rumors threaten to turn his private feelings into public headlines, Win must finally decide: keep his love hidden forever, or brave the political fallout and tell her the truth.

Tired and extremely frustrated over his eternal bachelor image, Sherwin Gatchalian drunkenly confesses about currently dating Risa Hontiveros in an Instagram live.
