Overview

Synopsis

It focuses on five teens who need to retrieve stolen cursed objects and save the whole town from its near destruction at the hands of an unseen evil. Andrew (Paul Salas), a young bullied city boy, wants to have a complete family. When his parents got separated, he lives with his call center-agent mother Alice (Dimples Romana). Right after being bullied again, Andrew is enjoined by his mother to temporarily live in Pueblo Peligro with his grandfather Inong (Nanding Josef), who unbeknownst to them, secures cursed objects in a secret chamber in their family-owned local museum. As Andrew adjusts in his new world, he rediscovers his family roots, meets his "crush" and finds himself drawn to the cursed objects, which on one fateful night, are stolen leading to the death of his grandfather. With the help of his newfound friends Neil (Makisig Morales), Luna (Sue Anna Ramirez), Princess (Jane Oineza), and Joey (Joshua Colet), Andrew embarks on a quest to redeem the damned antiques and consequently give justice to his grandfather's death. But as Andrew and his friends reclaim those doomed objects, they are inevitably enmeshed in a life-altering, horrific and fun adventure, filled with seemingly insurmountable obstacles and schemes by an unknown force of evil that will put their friendship to the ultimate test.

gollark: A lot of things have HTTP APIs for control and interaction now.
gollark: Also, you could just do `cat [file1] >> [file2]`.
gollark: Yes, probably, but that's not... what most programs actually do?
gollark: JSON and CBOR and whatnot are good formats for structured data, and you can parse those easily into structured data in your language of choice with about a gazillion tools (there's even `jq` for shell scripting!), and exchange them nicely over HTTP/TCP/whatever networking thing.
gollark: Which tends to be made up ad-hoc and be some terrible hard to parse thing.
