   It's been three long years
   Do you still want me?

   In 1983, Penelope Featherington, editor-in-chief of the UP Collegian, is arrested for running her own underground pamphlet criticizing the Marcos regime. While imprisoned, her best friend Colin Bridgerton writes her letters - his only lifeline as the world presumes her dead and continues to change around them.
