A team of monster hunters use the power of love to defeat supernatural evil.

The story centers on a manananggal—a mythical Filipino creature that separates its torso and flies at night—portrayed by actress Lauren Kong (who cites drawing from Filipino culture and folklore). The creature forms an unexpected bond with a human (likely played by Omar Hussein, given tags referencing his involvement). Through glimpses of their encounters—equal parts tender and terrifying—the film blurs the boundaries between romance and predation (love and blood).
