Carlo (Christopher de Leon), a wealthy architect, lives under the psychological shadow of a generational curse that he believes dooms the men in his family to madness and tragic deaths. When his wife Jackie (Dindi Gallardo) announces her pregnancy, Carlo fears the hereditary curse will take hold of him next. Advised to rest, he travels to his family's ancestral estate in Lucban. There, he becomes deeply captivated by Carmen (Rosanna Roces), a mysterious and sensual woman who wanders the grounds. As Carlo engages in a passionate physical liaison with Carmen, he uncovers the truth behind his family's dark past: Carmen is not a living woman, but a vengeful spirit tied to his ancestors' sins, destined to bring about his undoing as retribution for past crimes committed against her body.
