This is true story about a well educated woman in the Philippines, who is a mother, a professional writer and a Newspaper editor. When she tries to obtain an annulment from her drug crazed husband, it starts a sequence of events likened to an avalanche and totally beyond her control.

It depicts the actual proceedings that transpire in this country where divorce and annulments are not looked upon favorably and the actions of a husband's attempts to keep his woman within matrimonial bounds. He plans to harm her physically, to leave her without money, to discredit and erode her character and he does this initially through a fabricated liaison with a very wealthy man. This falsely accused suitor soon becomes obsessed with her and he too begins a reign of abuse and terror on a very grand scale. The world becomes his playground and he uses psychological and physical abuse, inflicting terror in this woman's life.

The events mostly take place in the Philippines where money is but one of the tools used as a weapon against a woman who tries to gain her freedom.
