Sa kagustuhang matakasan ang kinalakhang buhay at mahanap ang kalayaan, napadpad si Malaya sa isang malayong probinsya.

Subalit nang dumating ang pagkakataon na kinailangan niyang aminin ang lahat—ang tunay niyang pagkatao at dahilan ng kanyang pagtakas ay hindi niya inaasahang ang binata pa pala ang magtutulak sa kanyang balikan ang nakaraan na ayaw na niyang maranasan...
