LOGLINE

The film is a tale of a naïve and religious text scammer, Ponching, who accidentally cons a rich family. His best friend Elmerson influenced him into doing various scams for easy money. Because “business is slow”, Elmerson resorts to text scamming, and gets Ponching to join in. By a twist of fate, Ponching’s text message accidentally scams a rich family that made them believe he is the estranged son of their late relative who has left a large inheritance. While Ponching is unsure of pushing through with the scam, Elmerson persuades him to meet his “new family”. Ponching is forced to keep returning to the house and bonds with the family until he gets the inheritance in full. At one point however, a feeling of guilt surfaces. Will he go back and come clean, or will he continue living a lie to keep everyone happy?
