From their birth to adulthood, Brando always despises Brandy, his gay twin brother, and he has been his burden throughout his life, with factors including that he was mistaken for the latter by everyone. The two later became estranged when Brando started an altercation with Brandy and was later expelled from the house. Eight years have passed and Brando lives with his two friends at a boarding house and they run a repair service for broken appliances. However, with a debt of 1.5 million pesos, Brando has been given a deadline of 30 days by Delilah and he has to choose two options: pay the debt or marry her.
