Synopsis : Dead of night in the ruins of the old capital, young Marcelo picks up a book in front of three rebels burning at the stake— effigy to a once promising nation. In this alternate timeline, the Philippines is ruled by one party called Autoridad. Music is forbidden, newborns are used as currency, select children are raised to be soldiers, dissent is nonexistent and musicians are systematically eradicated for they hold the key to bring the masses together through the power of music. Marcelo holds the book close. It tells the tale of Diego Masangkay, a guitarist who once led the greatest rebellion against Autoridad known to date. After finding a guitar of his own, Marcelo sets off on a terrible purpose to fight against an overwhelming force intent to keep his people in total darkness.
