Synopsis

Gin Agustin (Piolo Pascual) is a frustrated musician who becomes the guardian of the three orphans that his late sister adopted: Emong (Zaijan Jaranilla), Dara (Xyriel Manabat), and Ningning (Yesha Camile). Gin is unprepared to be the guardian of three young children, but with the help of the strict attorney Bianca Magpantay (Iza Calzado) and her sister (later revealed to be her daughter) Lorrie (Andrea Brillantes), Gin learns how to be a good parental figure to these three children. Different trials threaten to tear them apart, but Gin becomes determined to fight to keep all of them together and give them a complete family along with Atty. Bianca and Lorrie. Little by little they realize that it isn't important that they aren't related by blood because love makes a family.
