After six years in the United States, Nevaline returns to her provincial hometown in the Philippines for her father's funeral-a homecoming she never thought would break her in ways she didn't expect. As she walks the familiar muddy paths and enters the old nipa house that once raised her, she is forced to confront not only her grief but also the unresolved wounds of her past: a bitter aunt, a family she tried so hard to provide for from afar, and an ex-lover now engaged to her cousin.
Amid gossip, confrontation, and emotional reckoning, Neva struggles to hold her composure. But in the chaos of death, memories, and home, she must decide if it's time to bury the past or finally reclaim her place in the family she left behind.
