"Maganda at matalino talaga 'yang si Jayla, kaya lang may scandal 'yan."
These are the words that are usually thrown at Janica Leila Montejermoso, an aspiring lawyer who dreams of giving justice to the abused and neglected children like her. Due to her childhood trauma, Jayla grew up strong, determined, and indestructible. She wanted to prove to everyone that there are still more to life than being a victim of her childhood past. Not until her sex video with her long-term boyfriend leaked, which gradually break her already broken soul.
Being with his girlfriend since they are born in the same delivery room, Niccolo John Cadiente is branded as "buntot ni Jayla"; and he's proud of that. He's a dreamer, he dreams of becoming a successful and competent doctor someday, a pediatrician specifically, while building his own family with Jayla. But what if he became the reason of the gradual downfall of his only love?
Can they still guarantee that a victim's aftermath is still worth living after all? Or they will just let their hellish past swallow them whole?
