Amid his loneliness, he meets Abby, a spirited social media influencer from Cebu City, whose glamorous facade masks inner turmoil stemming from a bitter estrangement from her family. 

Their unexpected bond flourishes, offering solace amid their chaotic lives, but as their relationship deepens, Abby challenges Nathan's ingrained beliefs about love and family.

However, a sudden visit from Nathan's family stirs long-buried emotions and culminates in a confrontation that reveals Abby's shocking secret, forcing Nathan to reevaluate love and loyalty. 

Torn between the woman he loves and the family he has started to resent, Nathan faces essential questions: Is Abby's love worth severing ties with his family? Can he rebuild the bridges he has burned, or has Abby's influence irreparably altered his future? 

When Love Breaks Ties is a poignant exploration of love, identity, and family relationships against the backdrop of modern Filipino culture, inviting readers to reflect on the complexities of love and belonging and the sacrifices that define relationships.All Rights Reserved
