The story revolves around three women and how their complex lives and loves are intertwined and connected to one powerful, evil man, Congressman Benjamin Rosales (Tirso Cruz III). The Congressman masquerades as a protector of people's welfare & even advocates women's rights. In reality, however, the politician is a corrupt patriarch who treats the many women in his life as a mere objects & possessions. Among his victims is his own wife, Lorreine (Marianne dela Riva), a typical submissive spouse who is content with domestic chores and child bearing; the transmutation is the being forever of loving to Delia (Eula Valdez), and the reluctant bold star Bambi (Ynez Veracion), who is forced by circumstances to become the congressman's concubine because of a crime she accidentally committed. But deep in her heart, she remains true to her one great love, Jonas (Jay Manalo); and Celine (Carmina Villaroel), a lawyer who suspects Cong. Rosales in the death of her father and the madness that drove her mother to insanity. She is torn between her vow of revenge and her love for the congressman's son, Benj (Jake Roxas).
