In the Kingdom of Kalayaan, Lakan Makisig (Vic) faces a dilemma over which of his three children will inherit the throne. Magat Bagwis (Sid Lucero) is known for his temper. Dayang Matimyas (Cristine Reyes) is at odds with Lakan due to her forbidden love with a political enemy. The closest to his heart, Dayang Lualhati (Sue Ramirez), is preparing to marry a Thai prince but gets abducted on her wedding day by men. Matimyas claims they are from the secessionist group Tiwalag. Makisig mobilizes Bagwis and the army to rescue Lualhati, but their efforts are in vain. Meanwhile, an outcast named Sulo (Piolo) has already saved Lualhati from her captors. As they journey back to the palace, Lualhati begins to see the flaws in her father’s rule and vows to seek change. However, upon their return, Sulo faces accusations that put his life in jeopardy, forcing him to make a bold move that could alter the kingdom’s future.
