She looked up only to meet the face of one person she had been trying to avoid. Allen stared coldly at the woman in front of him and stepped forward like a lion trying to stalk its prey.

Sa masiglang lungsod ng Makati, kung saan tila hindi kailanman humihinto ang buhay, tatlong buhay ang nalalagay sa isang sapantaha ng pag-ibig, lihim, at pagtataksil. Si Talia, isang batang babae na may misteryosong aura, ay kasama ang kanyang kasintahan, si Robert. Ang kanilang pag-ibig ay tila tunay, isang ugnayang nabuo sa loob ng maraming taon ng pagsasama. Ngunit sila parehong may itinatagong lihim sina Talia at Robert na nagbabanta na sirain ang lahat ng kanilang itinaguyod. Ang bagay na iyon ay si Nelson, ang kanilang charismatic at kaakit-akit na kasama sa bahay sa prestihiyosong Ayala Condominium. Si Nelson ay hindi lamang isang kaibigan o tagapagtapat—siya ang lalaking nakakuha ng puso nina Talia at Robert sa mga paraang hindi nila maipaliwanag. Bawat nakaw na sulyap, bulung-bulong na usapan, at ipinagbabawal na haplos ay nagpapalalim ng tensyon sa kanilang pinagsasaluhang tahanan, na lumilikha ng isang emosyonal na bagyo na wala sa kanila ang handang harapin. Habang nagtatagpo ang kanilang mga buhay sa hindi inaasahang mga paraan, kailangan nilang maglakbay sa malabong tubig ng pag-ibig, pagnanasa, at katapatan. Ang misteryosong kalikasan ni Talia ay nagtatago ng kanyang sariling mga lihim, at ang tila kalmadong asal ni Robert ay nagsisimulang mabasag sa bigat ng kanyang guilt. Samantala, si Nelson, na nahuli sa gitna, ay nahihirapan sa kanyang sariling emosyon at sa kaguluhang hindi niya sinasadyang nalikha. Sa likod ng masiglang kalakaran ng mga kalye ng Makati at marangyang pamumuhay sa mga mataas na gusali, ito ay sumasalamin sa mga kumplikadong aspeto ng pag-ibig at ang kahinaan ng tiwala. Ito ay isang kwento tungkol sa mga pagpipiliang ginagawa natin, mga lihim na itinatago natin, at mga hindi sinasambit na pagnanasa na maaaring magbuklod—o sumira—sa ating mga relasyon. Kapag nagbanggaan ang mga puso at lumabas ang mga pagtataksil, makakaligtas ba ang pag-ibig sa mga epekto nito?
