Wanting to help a needy family, he ventured to Manila and worked in different fast food restaurants as part time. Until he met a regular customer, Mike, who took him as an office staff member of his company. In Manila, Lucas met Nathaniel de Guzman, 25 years old, a man who, little did he know, was a policeman who volunteered to spy on him due to the allegations of his ex-girlfriend’s family.
