Premise

The entangled love story of Vanessa, Nick/Darwin and Jessa. Making the story more colorful and complicated are Alfred Vargas as Ronnie, a young man who is love-struck with Jessa; LJ Reyes as Liway, Jessa’s half-sister who is head-over-heels in love with Ronnie; Gina Alajar as Luisa, the estranged mom of Jessa and stepmother of Vanessa; Racquel Villavicencio as Dona Margarita Soriano, Nick's arrogant mom; Mel Martinez as Eli Solis, an art director who also manages Jessa’s career; Jim Pebanco and Gilette Sandico as Tiyo Anding and Tiya Agnes, relatives of Jessa.

Plot

Tragedy strikes when the helicopter that Nick (Wendell Ramos) is riding suddenly crashed in a remote island. A body is found in the crash site but it turned out to be Nick's officemate whose name was not listed in the passenger manifesto. The "death" of Nick caused great grief to Vanessa (Angelika dela Cruz) since she was already betrothed to be married to the young man.

On the remote island, Nick meets Dr. Modesto Mallari (Ricardo Cepeda), a marine biologist. Because of his memory loss, Nick introduces himself as Darwin.

Dr. Mallari takes Darwin to his home where he introduces his daughter, Jessa (Maxene Magalona), a beautiful painter. Darwin admits that he cannot recall his past and Jessa initially doubted his story. However, as time passes by, the two develop feelings for each other and have a child together.

Darwin becomes involved in another accident that triggers the return of his past memories. He remembers that he is a wealthy businessman named Nick who is about to marry his beloved girlfriend Vanessa. With the return of his memory, Darwin's identity as well as Jessa and their child no longer exist in Nick's recollection.[2]
