Anna dreams to be a popular and successful singer someday. Her friend Totoy, on the other hand, only dreams of being with his father. After his mother died and his father sent to prison, Totoy was left under the care of his loving uncle.

In a matter of time, Totoy’s wish comes true when his father comes home after serving his sentence. However, problem arises when Podong turns out to be an abusive and cruel dad. Totoy’s only comfort is Anna, his best friend and true love.

Madness and revenge engulfs Totoy and he promises to fight the manipulative haciendero no matter what. When the battle for the land title has won, Totoy decides to leave Baryo Gapas and start a new life in Manila. Here he will meet people that will change his life for good as he faces more fights—this time in the boxing arena where he will be known as Totoy Bato.
