Matt is driven by one ultimate goal: to bike all the way from Manila to Mt. Pinatubo Lake to defy his ill-fated life. His body is ravaged by Parkinson’s disease and a faltering faith; but his resilience to live and end life on his own terms carries him through. He encounters a road block in Sandy who ironically is the person he is running away from and “the one” he wants to be with the most.

In their biking trip, Matt and Sandy’s different personalities collide with each other in spite of their unlikely endearing qualities. Verbal battles constantly arise that spill out the nature of their complicated relationship. Biking through the tough terrains and lahar-filled lands of Mt. Pinatubo, they experience many challenges on the road. As Sandy gets tangled in Matt’s anger and desperation, she becomes an unwitting sacrifice for his redemption.
