Plot

Jimmy de Guzman is a military doctor and is the lone survivor of a massacre during his wife's boss' farewell dinner. He spends years hunting down the criminals until he was able to kill the last of them and avenging his wife, her boss and his daughter. Returning to his normal life, he became a respected military neurosurgeon, and engaged to the daughter of one of the hospital tycoons in Cebu. When his fiancee's niece succumbed to aneurism, Jimmy was the lead surgeon, but the girl dies while recuperating, thus placing the blame on Jimmy's shoulders. Shamed, he escapes to Manila where he spends his days drinking to drown his sorrow.

In his new home, Jimmy enjoys being incognito. After overcoming alcoholism, he becomes respected by the community, and his legend grows further when he conducted appendectomy on son of a police officer during a flood. It was then revealed that a co-doctor, jealous of his success, deliberately overdosed his former fiancee's niece. This comes about after the doctor confessed to his wife and every one in the party that he poisoned the girl, causing his wife to disown him and have him arrested for it.

Jimmy later discovers that he has not fully avenged his family as the leader of the criminals that killed his wife is still on the loose with a new band of men. After a firefight aboard a docked ship, Jimmy finally kills the leader ending his 8 years, 4 months and 3 days arduous journey.

He is coaxed to go back to Cebu but he choose to remain with new friends and newfound love.
