What if you receive a mysterious check, yung aakalain mo na libreng pera, at napakalaking halaga anong gagawin mo?
No hint of identity, reason for the check or anything. No mention or repayment, interest, no nothing... Except for a single word.
YOU
What if the next month, nakatanggap ka ulit. No hint, except for another word.
BELONG
And the next month again. The only hint is, two words, four letters.
TO ME
The notes stopped but the checks kept coming. A hundred thousand pesos, every month.
What would you do? Would you turn down what seems like free money? or Cash it?
What if I am the one to answer? I cashed it out. Why? because I am desperate, I needed it. I need it for my family, for my mom's hospital bill and for the sake of me and my little brother.
But what if one day, may kakatok sa pintuan mo. A sleek black limousine sat on the curb in front of your house. And a driver stood in front of you and said:"It's time to pay your debt."
Would you have gotten in?
because I did.
It turns out 1.2k doesn't come free.
When a bachelor-style reality show centered around finding this year's Mrs. Claus comes to Charlie's small town, she is vehemently against the attention it brings, yet in the chaos of it all, somehow finds herself in the running as a contestant... and falling in love.
*****
In the weeks before Christmas, Charlie Duncan's small town finds itself the backdrop to the hit new reality show, Finding Mrs. Claus. And to spice up the drama, a handful of locals are thrown into the casting mix, including not only Charlie, but her best friend Ellie as well. While Charlie does everything she can to get tossed off the show (to no avail), and watches skeptically as Ellie truly begins to open up her heart, she can't help but feel a certain spark for the man behind the scenes - the show's producer, Noah Cyrus.
