Papangarapin mo ba ang isang bituin sa langit, kung ikaw ay isang hamak na maglulupa lamang? Si Rada Buenavista - ang bratinelang heredera. Susubukan ang pasensya ng simple at mailap na si - Rafael Samaniego. Saan hahantong ang isang pagtatagpo na babalutin ng samut-saring lihim? Handa ba sila sa isang katotohanan na magsasadlak sa kanila sa lusak ng poot at galit? At magdadala sa kanila sa labis na kabiguan at kapighatian. Saan sila dadalhin ng kanilang katatagan?

Ang kapangahasan ni Rose ang nagdala sa kanya sa isang malaking panganib. Kung saan sa malayong probinsiya at liblib na bayan sa Cotabato siya ay napadpad. Habang nasa biyahe ay hinarang ang kanyang sinasakyang bus ng mga masasamang loob. Binitbit siya ng mga armadong lalaki na may nakakatakot na mga pagmumukha. Animo mga buwitreng gutom na nakakita ng karneng pag-aagawan sa katauhan niya. Nanganganib siyang malapastanganan. Subalit sa kabila ng takot ay hindi pinanghinaan ng loob si Rose. Dinala sya ng grupo sa kuta ng mga ito at ginawang bihag. Sa puntong iyon alam niyang nasa panganib ang kanyang buhay lalo na at natipuhan siya ni Horan ang mabagsik na pinuno ng mga bandidong dumukot sa kanya. Napasakamay siya sa pangangalaga ni Dimitri.

Isang ubod lalim na paghinga ang ginawa ni Anya bago inilibot ang tingin sa kanyang paligid. Pagkatapos ay sinuot niya ang de- kulay na salamin sa mata. Sinukbit ang signature na shoulder bag at maingat na hinila ang katamtamang maleta. Marahan siyang naglakad palabas ng paliparan. Dalawampu’t taon ang lumipas ng lisanin niya ang bansang Pilipinas para manirahan sa Amerika. Baon ang labis na hinagpis at pagkabigo sa pag-ibig ay nakipagsapalaran sya sa ibang bansa. Kaya naman ngayon sa muling pagtapak ng kanyang mga paa sa bansang kanyang tinakasan ay may kung anong pakiramdam sa dibdib niya ang hindi niya sukat mawari. Isa lang ang sigurado si Anya naroon pa rin ang bigat sa puso niya. Tila nanariwa ang pighati na dulot ng nakaraan. May butil ng luha na gustong bumukal sa sulok ng kanyang mga mata. Agad niyang pinawi iyon at pinuno ng hangin ang nagsisikip na dibdib. Mayroon siyang mahalagang pakay sa kanyang pagbabalik. Iyon ay ang lalaking kanyang inibig ng wagas subalit nagawa niyang talikuran. Subalit lagi na’y naroon ang katanungan sa isip niya. Kaya ba niya itong harapin? Handa ba siyang anihin ang poot at galit ni Clark sa kanilang muling pagtatagpo? Pagka’t ang tingin na ng lalaki sa kanya ay isang talusira.
