Synopsis
Grace (Angel Locsin) is a single mother willing to sacrifice everything to save her ill son, Botchok (Miguel Vergara). Grace lives a good life with her son and supportive boyfriend, Tristan (Zanjoe Marudo). When Botchok’s rare blood disease became severe, Grace was forced to reconnect with Botchok’s biological father, Edward (Dingdong Dantes). Edward, an accomplished man married to an equally successful Jacqueline (Angelica Panganiban), is uncomfortable with reconnecting with Grace. Having no children of their own, Jacqueline gives her blessings for Edward to reconnect with Grace to help save their son. The reconnection with Grace and Botchok starts to taint Edward and Jacqueline's marriage.

Casting
Angel Locsin, one of the female leads, stated in an interview that she initially hesitated to accept the role of Grace. She had doubts if she could portray the role of a mother because she has yet to experience being a mother in real life.[5]
Dingdong Dantes was cast as Edward. According to the director, Ruel S. Bayani, Dantes' acting performance in the horror film "Segunda Mano" (an MMFF movie entry garnering Dantes the best actor award) was one of the reasons why he was chosen for the role. Bayani added that they wanted to cast a new mix of actors for the film to give it a "different flavor".[6] This 38th MMFF entry marks Dingdong Dantes' second big screen project under Star Cinema after Segunda Mano.
