Lured by the tempting lights of the city, Lino Lucero, a young, idealistic, yet ignorant man who comes to the city from the province wants to become "somebody". An ambition he’s bound to fulfil. But he’s drawn in a world where the fierce devours the nobody. Corruption, ambition and survival at all means is the law in the concrete jungle. Here life proves to be more vicious, cruel and horrifying than whatever he expected. Lino enters an infamous fraternity that he thinks and believes can make him achieve his goal, build for him connections and clout that can eventually take him to the next step. Will he be squelched in the vicious cycles of endless struggle for importance, recognition and power? Will the taste of human flesh stay forever in his tongue?
