Premise
One unfateful night, Juris (Bela Padilla), along with five other lawyers, Drei (Tony Labrusca), Bogs (Ketchup Eusebio), Greco (Kit Thompson), Gaylord (Sandino Martin), and Lolita (Ivana Alawi), accidentally ran over a woman named Barbara (Rubi Rubi) who stole a baby from the hospital. They decided to bury Barbara's body afterwards. Juris took care of the child as her own, under the thought that they killed the child's mother. The real mother, Fina (Jodi Sta. Maria), emerges and is desperate to win her child back. Follow the story of the six lawyers, who would be torn in doing the right thing or disobeying the law they swore to promote.
