"In a country where justice is often sold to the highest bidder, one man pays the price for a crime he didn't commit." "Framed" is a tragic, Taglish psychological drama about Gabriel "Gabo" Ilustre, a young man wrongfully convicted of murder. Betrayed by false testimony and a corrupt legal system, he spends over a decade behind bars while the true criminals remain free. But when two unlikely allies-Elijah Atamosa, a determined law student, and Kara Ramirez, an investigative journalist-cross paths, the wheels of justice begin to turn. As they dig deeper, they uncover a web of manipulation, planted evidence, and a system designed to silence the truth. With media attention rising and threats closing in, the fight for Gabo's freedom becomes a race against time-not just to save a life, but to expose a much larger conspiracy rooted in the Philippine justice system. A gripping tale inspired by true events, "Framed" is a story of injustice, courage, and the high cost of truth in a broken system.
