Plot
Overseas Filipino Worker Sandy returns to the Philippines with her fiancé, Dale, from Dubai, for their wedding. Upon returning to her home, Sandy learns from a caretaker of her neighbor's house that Helen, Sandy's childhood friend, had died along with her family years ago. Her mother Tessie reveals that Helen announced her engagement after the recent death of her father despite being advised to postpone the wedding due to an old superstition that a marriage within the same year an immediate family member dies will be cursed. A few weeks after the wedding, Helen's husband perished in a plane crash while his wife died in a bus accident at the crash site and Helen's mother suddenly disappeared inside their home afterwards.
