Trading the simplicity of the northern Philippines' rice terrains for the searing fervor of Manila, Oscar Ramirez and his family plunge headfirst into the relentless whirlpool of city life, yearning for a future glistening with promise. The relentless pulse of the megacity, however, quickly engulfs them, their innocence exploited by the hardened natives of the concrete jungle. Fortune seemingly smiles upon Oscar when he secures stable employment with an armored truck company. His charismatic senior officer, Ong, adopts him into the fold, guiding him through the city's underbelly. But beneath the facade of luck, a grim reality lurks. The hazardous nature of his job, coupled with the ambiguous intentions of his newfound mentor, thrusts Oscar into a world fraught with danger. Metro Manila unveils the startling lengths a man will journey to safeguard his family, painting a raw and compelling portrait of survival in a city where dreams and nightmares coexist.
