Police officers Sonny Cruz and Alice Lagaac discover a video tape addressed to Cruz from an unknown sender. The tape contains voyeuristic footage of a missing girl, Judy Evangelista, whose case has since gone cold. At the same time, Lagaac is troubled over her ex-husband Bronson's decision to send their son to study abroad. Bronson later talks with police chief Jemuel Sy, who expresses contempt for his predecessor. Meanwhile, local shaman and bar owner Magic Mike is worried for Cruz, who is haunted by recurring headaches and mysterious figures.
