A death-installment plan somehow ends up in a dubious awakening at a hospital. Ailing 19-year-old Mattie (Ron Cieno) attempts to heal by renewing personal relations, starting with ex-girlfriend Meow (Czarina Alcantara), who has come to drive him home. On the road, Mattie realizes how complicated starting over is, and flakes out. At his apartment, he accidentally gets locked in his bedroom. Meow comes to help, battling her own helplessness within the absurdity that has become Mattie. While trapped inside, Mattie connects the Virgin Mary's Immaculate Concepcion with his disease (a mutated virus similar to HIV), which escalates into an argument leading to a hostile closure between him and Meow over everything. Dazed and angry, Mattie tracks down his best friend Orly (Vince Rillon), blaming him for interfering with his suicide. His pursuit leads him to Shivea Laundromat where he meets Tiny (Jim Libiran) and Ms. Sunshine (Sunshine Teodoro) who are also clueless about Orly's whereabouts. Strangely, Ms Sunshine knows about Mattie and the kid grows anxious, but before he leaves, Tiny has a seizure. After helping Ms. Sunshine revive Tiny on his psychosomatic overdose, Ms. Sunshine reveals that the laundromat is a front for a black market supported by terrorists who have one thing in common: Everyone is as sick as he is. Mattie, convinced of Orly's ties with the terrorists, realizes that he can use the notoriety to advocate for a cause greater than life and death. With help from his best friend and the alliance led by Ms. Sunshine, Mattie signs a pact of terror in blood--All of their blood!!.
