In the world we live in, everyone just wants to get rich and have a stable, peaceful life. Even if they've grown used to poverty, even if life where they are is hard. Everyone wants a future that's orderly, prosperous, and peaceful. And among them is Alfred Azure Vargas - who only wished for a good life. Despite their poverty, he forced himself to hold their life together. In Manila, he decided to study and left Cavite behind. He wanted a lighter life, a life that kept moving forward without stopping. No matter how fast, how expensive, how hard, how humiliating it got - he pushed himself to make it on his own. But while Alfred lives through poverty, there's another person who wants to experience it - to try it, to discover it, to learn what real life is really like. To know how hard it is, how heavy it feels, and what it truly feels like to live that way. That's what Adavan Lorcan Abrocio wants to try - living the life of an ordinary person. Will they be able to reach what they want in life if the people around them don't agree and nothing seems in their favor? Will they be able to live out the things they want to experience if it's hard to do, and they're afraid to try, afraid of what might happen?
