Synopsis:
The Manila World Academy (T.M.W.A.) is the epitome of luxury and privilege.

A sprawling 715-hectare campus where the world's wealthiest families send their children to receive a world-class education. Founded 20 years ago with the backing of global investors, TMWA has become a symbol of power, prestige, and exclusivity, catering to the rich and powerful from across the globe.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of T.M.W.A.'s opening, and to celebrate, the school is expanding its curriculum from Nursery to High School, further cementing its place at the top of the global educational ladder.

Moises Noah "MoiMoi" Lacampana -student at Intramuros National Academy (I.N.A.), a school for the middle class, but he has always dreamed of being part of T.M.W.A. However, his mother, Athena C. Lacampana, is adamant about him staying where he is, fearing the elitist nature of TMWA.

Along the way, Moises Noah interacts with a cast of characters-some who help him in his quest for justice, and others who attempt to hold him back as they protect their own interests. Among them are the Cassidral siblings, Xalric and Elvryne, American students who are powerful, beautiful, and elite in their own right, but harbor their own secrets. Then there's Hope Barclay, the brilliant yet ruthless American-Filipino student, who vies for power and status in a world that values only the best and most connected.

As the truth begins to unravel, Moises Noah faces a choice-does he continue to in a public school named Intramuros National Academy even his family affords it, or does he become part of the T.M.W.A.?
