An over-educated dropout commits a double murder but an innocent family man is arrested and imprisoned for the crime, leaving behind a wife with two children to fend for herself.

Fabian, Norte's tortured anti-hero (superbly played by Sid Lucero), may well be his most indelible creation, and he is equally well-served by luminous performances from Angeli Bayani and Archie Alemania as the guiltless couple caught up in the crime.
