Paloma gets lost in 1898 where women are inferior to men. She crosses paths with Jose Rizal and the Ilustrados, realizing that fate has brought her here not by chance, but with purpose.
Armed with knowledge far beyond her time and a spirit that refuses to be silenced, Paloma joins the revolution-not just as a doctor, but as a fighter and a soldier for women who have never been allowed to dream. Torn between a future she remembers and a past she must change, Paloma's presence could alter the course of Philippine history forever.
Will she return to her own time, or will she become part of the revolution that reshapes a nation?
