(Synopsis) Auring (Nida Blanca) is imprisoned on trumped-up charges. After serving her prison term, she decides to go back to her hometown to demand justice from her malefactors. She wants to be reunited with Miguelito (Aga Muhlach), her long-lost son. This, however, proves too far from easy as her former lover, who made her pregnant, is now the town mayor and an all- powerful politician. His minions terrorize the townspeople, especially those who wished to testify on her behalf.
With help from a loyal friend and a principled lawyer, Auring offers some resistance, especially after her teenage son by the mayor discovers the truth. After an unexpected clash between the two contending groups, the mayor is shot to death, and mother and son are reunited.
