Three broke cousins + one dead lolo + a game show = chaos.
Three luckless cousins, estranged from one other, leave their province for Manila in search of their long lost grandfather. All three meet in an address where they find two equally zany guys taking care of their sickly grandfather. The old man dies and leaves an inheritance, but the land they inherit is in danger of being usurped by the father of their newfound girlfriends. Their only hope to save their land is to win five million in a popular noontime TV show.
