Paolo (Rey "PJ" Abellana), Girlie (Arlene Mulach) and Johnny (Joel Torre) decide to perform a spirit of the glass in an abandoned house. When they contact the spirits; namely Isabel, Ibarra and Juanito, the spirits break free from the glass and possess the teens.
In the Spanish era, Isabel is the daughter of Soledad and Antonio. She loves Juanito, a soldier who is battling against the Spaniards, but has to love her suitor Ibarra, a handsome and wealthy man and Juanito's companion. When Juanito leaves for battle, Isabel awaits his return. The next day, one of Juanito's companions report to Isabel that Juanito died from the battle with the Spaniards. Devastated by his loss, Isabel continues her engagement to Ibarra. After Isabel and Ibarra celebrate their marriage, they are attacked by Juanito, who is revealed to be alive and mad when he discovered her betrayal, but Ibarra kills him. With his last breath, he promises to get revenge on Ibarra and Isabel for their betrayal. Moments after his death, Ibarra commits suicide from the guilt of Juanito's death. Isabel dies from her sickness due to excessive depression. Their spirits haunt the abandoned house and begin to reenact their past.
Back the present, Paolo and Johnny, who are still possessed by Ibarra and Juanito, begin to fight each other but the caretaker, Mang Castor saves them and Girlie by warding off the spirits from their bodies. The teens seem to go back to normal but Johnny stabs Paolo with an axe, revealing he is still possessed by Juanito's spirit. With his last ounce of strength, Paolo grabs the gun and shoots Johnny as Juanito's spirit is expelled from Johnny's body. The boys die from their wounds, in front of the traumatized Girlie.
