Plot

Seth is a rich, impulsive playboy who runs away from serious relationships and doesn't give much thought to the women he goes out with. Sophia is a prude, ambitious girl who feels responsible for the tragedy she once encountered, and with a scar to constantly remind her of this unfortunate experience.

When the two accidentally meet in Santorini, their differences do not stop them from spending an unforgettable summer together — that is, until Seth runs away again, scared of the unusual feeling that is happening within him.

Seth soon realizes his mistake and comes back to Manila to try his best to regain Pia's affection. Conflicts in land ownership and businesses of their parents are now part of a wall that is growing between them.[1]
