Determined to give her family a better life, Abby is forced to endure her tragic fate abroad. Though she finds a way to cope with her situation, Abby refuses to make no move when another group of unsuspecting victims arrives.
Abby, with the support of Iris, Glenda, Trina, and Janna, quits her dependency on drugs for survival. However the hardships of Abby and her newfound friends continue as they suffer the consequences of breaking the bar’s rules such as insubordination towards their customers, as well as going out of the premises after hours. The women remain strong for their families, while becoming hopeful that they will find their way back home as a whistleblower reported the club’s activities of illegal sex work to the local authorities. Meanwhile, Abby herself is hurt further as she is informed of her husband Mark’s affair, and her being a popular girl at the bar prevents her from returning to the Philippines.
Following the departures of Ronalyn and Janna from the bar, Abby, Iris, Glenda, and Trina also finally come back home to the Philippines. The challenge now is to move on from their trauma and face their respective families in order to continue with their lives. For Abby, it first meant leaving Mark after confronting him for his infidelity while she was abroad, taking their children with her. While the rest of the women were able to forget and heal in their own ways, Abby continues to be triggered from her experiences in Cyprus, affecting her relationship with her loved ones and even a new suitor James. Once again with the support of the girls as well as James, Abby eventually musters up the strength to tell the rest of her family so she can truly be free and start over.
