- Synopsis
- Celine, a grieving widow returns to her estranged husband’s family’s island estate to scatter his ashes. Paeng and Celine de Miranda, both doctors, seemed to be the perfect couple, beloved by the islanders who were beneficiaries of their many medical missions. But the marriage fell apart, marked by her being unable to bear children and rumors of his infidelities.
  
  The once idyllic island is now mired in poverty, squalor, and decadence. It has mirrored the fate of the once massive De Miranda estate - ill-gotten wealth amassed during the martial law years – now reduced to a plot of land containing the ruins of the Mirador, a financial folly and a symbol of the downfall of the De Miranda family. It is now up for sale to Korean investors.
  
  Celine’s return to the de Miranda’s crumbling estate opens old wounds. She becomes obsessed with Jasper, rumored to be Paeng’s son by one of the estate’s servants. She pursues him around doggedly, telling him that he is the child that Paeng never gave her, promising him a share of Paeng’s estate. But the boy is devoted and protective of his mother, Vilma, an island beauty who has the mind of a child. He is full of rage and rejects Celine’s advances. Her envy of the strong mother and son bond makes her hatch a plan to destroy that bond, which leads to tragic consequences.
