Gideon (
Nonie Buencamino) teaches Eli ('Zaijan Jaranilla') to swing from tree to tree using baging. He teaches him about the good ways of their tribe called Ungta. The Ungta tribe is good-natured, caring, loving, happy and likes dancing and singing and most of all, loves the environment. The Ungtas live their lives according to Inang Gaia and the balance of environment. Gideon being the village chief tells Eli that one day he will become like one and will protect the family tribe. He prevents Eli to go to Bulkang Itim because that is where the buwa-buwas. Ram, cousin of his, find Eli ugly because he does not look like the usual Ungta. Eli finds himself in conflict because of that. Caleb (
Baron Geisler), brother of Gideon, finds Eli a menace to their society. Caleb believes that someday Eli will bring danger to them. Caleb does not want Eli to be the next Ungta chief for he is human. Ram accidentally steps on the trap made by Eli. Gabriel (
Piolo Pascual) goes back to the police force to search for his missing son.
