Plot

Pat Consolacion is a guidance counselor of the Sta. Lucia Academy for girls. This is an exclusive all-girls private school run by Catholic nuns. Patricia’s affection for the students has caused her to independently make her own investigation about the suicide of a student named Eri. This was done without notice of the head teacher; Charo Santos-Concio as Mother Alice. Students of the academy are traumatized on the occasions of apparitions of the ghost of Erika. Anna, being one of the students, is sent home after this experience when she ventures alone at midnight where Erika supposedly hung herself.[9][10]

Summaries

The unexpected and gruesome death of a student threatens the existence of an old Catholic school for girls. Pat Consolacion is the school guidance counsellor who involves herself with the students to help them cope. She also helps uncover the mysteries of the student's death. Most students suspect it is the strict and borderline abusive Mother Alice. This is because she also threatened Pat's tenure in the school because of her continuous meddling with the case. But Pat's unusual talents lead her to know Eri, a former student who has been watching the whole school for years. Pat uncovers the secret of the school and the monster that it nurtured for the past century.[11][12]
