Louie receives a text message from the province that his father,
Ulding, had a heart attack. Louie rushes to drive home from Manila only
to find out that the message was nothing but a prank. Louie then senses
something eerie about his hometown. He finds out there have been
several killings in the barrio all done in the same manner. Apparently,
the victim first hears some rumbling noise; that is before they are
found dead all covered with mud. Louie learns that his childhood
sweetheart, Elma, is one of the victims. He visits her wake and is
forced to confront an unresolved issue with Elma’s husband, Nestor, who
was once Louie’s best friend. As the day draws to an end, Louie is also
forced to resolve his long-standing conflict with a father who is now
married to their servant, Cora, a simple, earthy mystic. Ulding has
refused all of Louie’s invitations to stay with him in Manila because
of his new family. When the killings move closer to home and threatens
Louie’s family, he discovers for himself how he had been estranged from
his roots and now must face his past with the horror of what is to
happen.
