Sinteya Yeo has always been into "sinful" acts until her world was shaken when she took the challenge of playing fire with her respectable college professor. ***** Pinaniniwalaan ni Sinteya Yeo na sex objects lang ang tingin ng mga lalaki sa mga babae, a belief borne from the fact that she's the daughter of a single mother and unknown father. Kung sex lang ang habol ng mga ito, then sex lang ang ibibigay niya and nothing else. That view in life molded the woman she is today until she sets her sights on her handsome ethics professor, Sir Marco, who brushes off sexual innuendos and flirtations. As her frustration of proving her point turns into deeper, warm, and fuzzy feelings, hindi mapigilan ni Sinteya na ibaling ang tukso sa isa pang forbidden conquest, a more willing victim . . . because she believes that forbidden acts are the most pleasurable.
