The sin of the past is the tragedy of the present. The year is 1953 and Gabriel de Dios, a man who lives a simple and happy life with his family, possesses the good half of a powerful amulet while Damian Buenavista, a black-hearted scoundrel, who intends to rule the world own the bad half. But Damians plan to take control of the world will not be successful without the other half from Gabriel.
