Jake Herrera is played by Atom Araullo, a journalist and an estranged son of Senator Jacobo Herrera, who is a close companion of the Marcoses. Jake’s elder brother, Roxie, is a congressman and aspiring senator.

In there, Jake builds a life with his girlfriend and fellow teacher Mandy, while living in his mother’s inherited house with its caretakers. In order to practice his previous profession, Jake keeps a blog exposing the dirty world of politics.
When one of Mandy’s students died from rape, Jake follows the circumstances surrounding the innocent girl’s death. His investigation led to a series of brutal revelations of corruption and family secrets that he was oblivious to.
