L'histoire débute en 1997, quand Horacia Somorostro (Charo Santos-Concio) est libérée de prison après avoir été condamnée pour un crime qu'elle n'a pas commis. Elle retrouve sa fille et apprend que son mari est décédé et son fils a disparu pendant son emprisonnement. En revanche, la situation sociale n'a pas changé : les élites ont toujours le pouvoir, comme le démontre la position toujours forte de Rodrigo Trinidad, son ancien amant qui l'a fait tombée dans un coup monté. Les gens riches, comme Rodrigo, sont visés par des kidnappings en série et sont forcés de se cloîtrer dans leurs maisons. Profitant de la crise, Horacia commence à mettre sur pied sa vengeance.

Une fresque cinématographique en 3 parties sur la révolution philippine contre le régime colonial espagnol à la fin du 19ème siècle. Isagani, étudiant naïf, brillant et poète, se laisse influencer par le ténébreux Simoun, un radical qui prône la violence au nom de la libération. Représentant les tendances les plus sombres et destructrices de l’insurrection dans les milieux urbains et aristocrates, Simoun opère cependant un virement après une blessure presque fatale.

Samir Sahni is a farmer living with his mom, dad, wife, Rama, a young daughter, and his younger brother, Veer. Samir gets an offer to work in the U.K., and departs accordingly. He would like to settle there, and after doing so, would like his family to also join him. The years go by, and Samir keeps in touch with his family regularly. Then the Sahni family stop receiving any letters from him, and are anxious to know what has happened to him. Veer is asked to travel to U.K. to find out, and he does so. What he finds are tens of thousands of East Indians on fake passports, working for less than minimum wages, poor unhealthy conditions, fear of being deported, and paying half of their earnings to fellow East Indians who had got them here through the underground. Veer finds no sign of his brother, and sets out to investigate, only to find deceit, murder, and his very own life in danger.
