Synopsis

Upon returning to the enchanted island of Siquijor with her grandmother, Lola Ellie, balikbayan teenager Leklek Rosal makes a startling discovery – her so-called imaginary friend from her childhood, a Sigbin named Rocky, is in fact real! This revelation leads her to explore the mysteries behind her untapped magical abilities. They will be crucial for protecting Siquijor, but will she be ready in time? Under Lola Ellie's guidance, Leklek is beginning to feel more grounded in her Barangay. As Leklek prepares to face the Wakwak known as Ravenous, she finds connection in her ancestral roots. In her quest to unearth the extent of her mystical powers, Leklek is joined by her cousin Bert, her boyfriend Eric, and Rocky the Sigbin, who provides supernatural support in her adventures. Together they search the depths of her hidden mystical gifts. They must be particularly careful because a Vatican priest, Brother Simon Del Cano, is on a mission to uncover the reality surrounding Sigbins. As dark forces coalesce, can Leklek succeed in harnessing her power and destiny to safeguard her Barangay against the looming threat?
