When dusk arrives in the city of Manila, that's when you become the most likely prey of the criminal underworld.Kidnappers and thieves will be the least of your worries.Beware the criminals that can't be bound with handcuffs nor harmed with bullets.Beware the ones that crave for your blood, those who hold your heart ransom, and the ones that come to steal your soul.When crime takes a turn for the weird, the police call Alexandra Trese.

12 midnight at Metro Manila.Try to remain calm if you suddenly spot a tikbalang speeding down EDSA or a manananggal swooping across the Makati skyline. While partying at the Fort, never ever let the enkanto at the bar buy you a drink.Yet, there are deadlier things than walk the streets of this city.One of them now demands blood and sacrifice.When crime takes a turn for a weird, the police call Trese.

The unceasing rain muffles the screams of the victims being pulled down, down into the murky flood waters.In the places too high to be reached by the flood, the party continues for the privileged, who indulge in a new designer drug which grants them the supernatural abilities of enkanto and aswang.These are the murders and mysteries Alexandra Trese needs to solve as the tide continues to rise at the stroke of midnight.
