Frank Parish (Patrick Bergin), a retired US firefighter and philanthropist, was wrongfully accused of murder and imprisoned in the Philippines. As he begins to lose faith, Frank forms unlikely friendships with a convicted murderer, Mando (Dingdong Dantes, who suppresses his love for dancing to prove his masculinity and a transgender inmate, Allona (Joey Paras), who advocates for prison reform through dance exercises. Together, they navigate the tension between the positive changes the warden (Ricky Davao) has brought and the oppressive corruption that undermines their chances for personal development. Caught in a web of deception, Frank faces a tough decision: keep quiet to protect himself or reveal the truth to help his fellow prisoners. Will he stay on the sidelines or join in the fight for freedom, dancing to the rhythm of life behind bars?
