Joey, a fashion designer, Mikee, a food and travel vlogger, and Ally, an aspiring composer cross their paths in Samar. What seemed to be an ordinary trip for Joey and Mikee turned out to be something more than they presume.

Sexually frustrated Perla wants out of her marriage; servant Lea yearns for power; streetwalker Joan has a secret; and Diana is lost in grief. They find escape and salvation in the only place that inspires hope: the karaoke bar. Music is the only way they're able to feel whole once more, but will it work in the long run?

Six single women and a priest's lives intersect when a bingo marathon is launched in their church for the barangay fiesta, turning expectations and relationships upside down and inside out.

Vanni, a 17-year-old girl, spends her vacation in a seaside village. While looking for her lost puppy, she sees Fiel, a lonesome 50-year-old man. Vanni decides to hang out in the man’s house and a fondness develops between them. However, he has an ailing wife afflicted with cancer.

Beginning at the break of dawn and ending the next morning, the story, set around a rugged city intersection, follows the path of a marked one-thousand-peso bill as it transfers from one character to another, returning to its originator in the end, blood-tainted. The money leads us to each of the five offbeat characters, all in desperate need of their soul's redemption.

Liwanag sa Dilim focuses in man's inner struggles and the echoing noise of his conscience. Stalked by his own shadow, the character gets embroiled in a plethora of emotions obscuring his ability to make sound, lief-changing decisions. Man is besieged with seemingly endless travails, yet life's paradox brings about a metamorphosis. Come reckoning time, he realizes that only through proper discernment is he able to break through, redeem himself, and triumph.
