Seasons
1. Andrew & Brix
I thought you were healing me. But no, you broke me even more. Andrew is mending a broken heart. It's been months since he broke up with his longtime partner Zeph. He still feels trapped in the memories of his relationship. He tries to keep himself busy with a lot of things to forget Zeph. He eventually finds himself searching for guys on a gay dating app. On the evening of the quarantine, Andrew feels especially lonely and decides to invite Brix, one of the rent boys he met online. As the night progresses, their conversations open up a lot of possibilities: healing and connection, lust and love and probably moving on. Is Andrew ready to commit again with someone like Brix?
2. Calvin & Drake
Calvin and Drake have been together since college. But that was before, when they were still in love with each other. The truth is their relationship is now in a limbo and not even good sex can save that. During the past two weeks, since the declaration of the quarantine throughout the entire Luzon, Drake has been anxious since he was not able to leave the apartment. He should have been on a vacation with his sister Yumi in Palawan, if only Calvin had allowed him to go before the lockdown started. Unbeknownst to Calvin, Drake is thinking of leaving him since the quarantine started. For him, that vacation was his way to reflect on their crumbling relationship.
3. Eli & Frankie
I wish you knew how much your presence means to me. I miss you. A mother who is separated with her young son during the lockdown is also trying to connect with her lover based in the US who’s busy as a medical nurse.

4. Greg & Harold
In the absence of love, we hold onto those who we have fleeting moments with. Greg, a philosophy professor, lives alone in his old apartment in Metro Manila. During the lockdown, he teaches online, reads novels, and does what he likes the most: sewing. Unexpectedly, a young man Harold shows up at his door and wants to borrow his bathroom to have a shower. Greg doesn’t know how to refuse Harold and feels his privacy invaded at first, but they open up to each other after they start a conversation.
5. Ivan & Jack
Ivan is desperate to raise money to bring his mother Jack back home from Switzerland. He uses his body to get the attention of his clients as the pandemic makes it difficult for him to get decent job opportunities. When he goes viral online for his ‘noble’ reason behind what he’s doing, he is caught up in a dilemma between right and wrong as he examines his real motivation behind his actions? Is he really doing it for the love of her mother or for the love of himself?
6. Kyle & Kyle
Kyle is trying to finish his screenplay while on quarantine. He starts to feel and see weird things in his apartment, even facing his exact facsimile. Is the double a projection of himself, a figment of his wild imagination or a manifestation of his psychological breakdown? What follows is a spiral between fantasy and reality.
7. Luke & Matt
Luke lost his father to CoVid. Matt, his father’s lover, brings his remains and the two try to reconnect. The visit brings back memories and pains the two experienced in the past. Will they be able to finally forgive each other and move on from the sins of the past?

Ryan and Quinn, a gay couple living in an open relationship with Pancho is suddenly confronted by a reality during the pandemic: that they are all unhappy with the set-up.
