Margaux and Claudia were competing one another from beauty to the only man they see who is Benjo (Aljur Abrenica), an all-around employee at the Polo Club.

The sosy ladies will do everything they can in order to stop the Polo Club owners from pursuing their plans, and they will risk everythingeven their poise and glamourto achieve their goal.
