Joaquin Mercado gave everything to his family. He worked double shifts, skipped meals, and loved his daughter Bea more than his own life. So when a massive solar storm plunged the Philippines into darkness and the food finally ran out, he gave them his last can of sardines. Seventy-four days after the sky burned, his wife Trina opened the door to his boss, Lorenzo Salcedo. As Joaquin bled on the kitchen floor, the daughter he had raised for eight years ran into Lorenzo's arms and called him *Papa*. Then Trina whispered her final words to him: at least tonight, he would finally be useful to the family. Joaquin wakes up in his own bed in Quezon City with the fan humming, the lights on, and a calendar that reads one hundred days before the storm. This time, he remembers everything. He plays the loyal husband while quietly gathering proof: a DNA test showing zero percent paternity, photos of Trina and Lorenzo entering Room 1408 of a BGC hotel, and nine years of lies. But when an anonymous message warns him to stop digging, Joaquin realizes someone is watching his every move. So he strikes first. At his grandmother's eightieth birthday, in front of the entire Mercado clan and Lorenzo himself, he exposes everything. He files for annulment, walks away from the house and the savings, and quits his job without taking a single peso. His family calls him a fool. Only his Lola sees the truth: he has finally woken up.
