Protector. Warrior. Peter Harris feels like he doesn't belong. A Filipino who lived all his life in the US where he grew up being bullied since grade school. Now, 20 years old, he has had enough and wants to escape. Just then, his adoptive father passes away in a tragic accident involving something supernatural that nobody can explain. It will all unfold to him when he goes back to the Philippines to look for his mother whom he hasn't seen since he was an infant. When he finds her, he learns that she has been a victim of a curse given by the ruler of Eastern Kasamaan. As he embarks on a journey to find a cure, he learns so much more than what he originally set out to discover. That he is no ordinary human and that he may be the prophesied "chosen one" who will save the entire town from the rising evil that threatens it."--Provided by Publisher ER -
