A tale of self-discovery and the effects of teenage bullying, the story centers on the life of high school student Ada who, after facing daily intimidation, finds hope when she discovers and enters a magical world called Hiwaga inhabited by mythological beings such as bakunawa (serpent-like dragon), diwata (fairies), duwende (dwarfs) and kapre (tree demon).
