Jacob (Piolo Pascual) is a man who hides his identity and past from his wife Iris (Lovi Poe), a female detective. On the surface, they appear to be the perfect family: a loving couple with a beautiful six-year-old daughter who adores her parents.
Iris and her colleagues begin investigating a series of unexplained murders and is confronted with the reality that her seemingly perfect husband may be hiding something from her.
