Three unrelated but intertwining stories of characters- all seemingly "living dead" unfold in this anthology of lives of have-nots who have become commodities that are either for sale or for hire. Gloria (Gloria Romero), caretaker of a rich family's mausoleum has a simple wish to be buried beside the tomb of her husband. Dadeng (German Moreno), Gloria's gay neighbor who sells flowers for the dead is burdened by the child of his former boyfriend played by Kirby De Jesus in love with Topher (Joseph Bitangcol) later revealed to be a closeted gay.Estrella Kerubin or Star (Krista Ranillo) is a trying hard who has not stopped dreaming, believing and surviving in a dying show business world. Snooky Serna plays the mother of Star while Allen Dizon is Tonio Torres, a male starlet member of an all-male group called "Wildboys".
Jay Manalo is Roberto San Pedro an ex-convict who gets paroled by a powerful armed group who used him as an assassin. Angelu De Leon plays the role of Angela, wife of Roberto, a former public school teacher who lost her job after cracking due to extreme pressure. Almost all of the above stories are resolved. Others remained open ended. In reality, being treated as a commodity is a hurting truth we have to live by.
