A journey to the end of the night, through a gloomy and chaotic district of the Philippino capital, where the only things glowing in the dark are some red lights and the dreams of three transgender women. The three of them are the best of friends and are working as masseuses offering sexual services for their clientele. The youngest keeps falling in love with the wrong people; the wise one returns home to her province to attend the christening of her exgirlfriend’s son; the bravest looks to make more money through drug deals for a Korean client. Where will their survival instinct lead them on the streets of Manila?
