Synopsis

The story revolves around three women and how their complex lives and loves are intertwined and connected to one powerful, evil man, Congressman Benjamin Rosales. The Congressman masquerades as a protector of people's welfare and even advocates women's rights. In reality, however, the politician is a corrupt patriarch who treats the many women in his life as a mere objects and possessions. Among his victims is his own wife, Lorreine, a typical submissive spouse who is content with domestic chores and child bearing; the reluctant bold star Bambi, who is forced by circumstances to bacome the congressman's concubine because of a crime she accidentally committed. But deep in her heart, she remains true to her one great love, Jonas; and Celine, a lawyer who suspects Cong. Rosales in the death of her father and the madness that drove her mother to insanity.
