The official synopsis reads: "High school graduates Jo and Lessa have been best friends since elementary school, but are now about to embark on different paths in life. While celebrating their last night together, they accidentally discover a mysterious portal that transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali, a land filled with the magic and mythical creatures from stories told by their Filipino families."
"Some of these creatures will become friends, while others will be foes. Accompanied by the kind but clumsy werewolf-dog Loa and a group of small but mighty companions, Jo and Lessa must face the island's most feared creature, the demonic Manananggal. When they discover that the price of returning home is the erasure of all memories of their friendship, they must race against time to find a way off the island before they forget each other forever." The film is scheduled to hit theaters on September 25.
