An overseas Filipino worker is on death row in Dubai for killing his Arab male employer for raping him. As the news progressed in the Philippines, a female reporter named Vega starts digging up stories about him, and that in turn garnerned attention from local government officials to take action. But for Fidel, he doesn't want any help, as he has insisted that he purposely killed his employer, however Vega finds this hard to believe as she investigates his past of a loving boy-next-door type who has a loving family and that his profile doesn't fit the picture of a killer. Sister Lourdes, a Filipino nun who is based in Dubai and visits Fidel regularly in jail also wants to know the truth.
