Loving in Tandem

Shine is an optimistic and happy-go-lucky girl who will do everything for her family, even if it means doing something bad. One of her victims is the balikbayan Luke, a Filipino-American lad who was sent to the Philippines when his father died. The two met in the most unusual circumstance when Luke rescued Shine from a thief. Unfortunately, Luke finds out that Shine is involved in the scamming incident where he lost his wallet. Shine willingly becomes Luke's "prisoner" to make up for her mistake. She is forced to work multiple part-time jobs to save up money which amounts to Luke's lifetime savings. Their unlikely situation makes the people around them assume that they are in a relationship especially when Luke announced in their whole barangay that Shine is his "jowa". Will language be a barrier in their budding romance? Can they set aside their differences in changing each other's lives?
