Synopsis : RAMIL, 40, a legally blind cook gets entangled in a web of truths and imaginative lies. He gets implicated in a heinous crime that branded him as the prime person of interest or suspect. He is accused of poisoning his wife, DELY, 65, a restaurant owner & expert in the exotic Kapangpangan cuisine. Ramil allegedly laces the dishes he cooked with rat poison. The ill-fated event happens during Dely’s first godchild's christening banquet. CLARA, 30’s, Dely’s daughter & mother of the christened child, indicts Ramil in court, and makes sure he rots in jail. She’s been very vocal against her mother’s May-December affair with Ramil, from the start. Upon his arrest & imprisonment, Ramil parts with his one and only son from a previous affair, Tristan, 6; who goes to Japan to be with his real mother. Tristan, whose imagination is very fertile, claims that his father Ramil has a body-double he named Ramil 2. Tristan blames Ramil 2 as the one who poisoned Dely and not his blind father, Ramil. Unfortunately, Tristan, being a minor, could not testify in court to defend of his father. He gets shocked when he sees the mass poisoning transpiring during the christening banquet . When he awakens, he could no longer remember anything that happened that fateful day
