Much like the ukay (secondhand) clothes that she sells, Melanie (Kim

a baby. She dreams of making it big as a fashion designer, to prove her
worth and show her mother that she should’ve never left her. She finds
the opportunity of a lifetime when a handsome young fashion executive,
Chris (Jake Ejercito), takes notice of her talents. As Melanie steps
into the fast-paced and cutthroat world of the Filipino fashion
industry, she also finds herself on a journey towards self-awareness,
empowerment, forgiveness, and the possibility of true love.
