Moroy, the driver for a wealthy and unscrupulous boss, is given a strange task one night: to travel from Baguio to Manila, bringing back a t-shirt and a few pills. Throughout the hundreds of kilometers, his sleepless mind drifts between past conversations, stories circulating among drivers, and his employer's hidden dealings. What appears to be a simple task becomes a dark journey into the complexities of class, power, and unspoken loyalties. With its 4:3 aspect ratio, the film's foggy and claustrophobic atmosphere in Baguio, its old Filipino songs, and its fragmented narrative, creates a stylized and unsettling neo-noir, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who exist on the fringes of privilege, yet never truly belong to that world.
