Bagman

After escaping death - twice in one night, Benjo Malaya, a small-town barber turned recounts the events that led him down the dark and dangerous path of becoming the Governor's "Bagman".

To secure his family's future, Benjo allows his barbershop to be used as a drop off and pick up point for three unassuming Styrofoam boxes. Not knowing that the boxes contain "grease money" for the vast smuggling network in the province, Benjo is assaulted by Cito, the Governor's right hand, for his involvement in the illegal operation. At knife point, Benjo's loyalty is tested. His decision impresses Cito and paves the way for Benjo's mentorship to be part of the Governor's "inner circle".

Cito trains Benjo in the ways of the Bagman: leverage, manipulation, and violence. Three years later, Benjo must use all that he learned from Cito to regain control of his life from the Governor who has already betrayed him. Benjo's first move is to strike a deal with Leon, the Bagman of the Governor's political rival.

With just months from his re-election campaign, Governor Arthur Alcantara is scrutinized for his alleged ill-gotten wealth and corruption practices by the influential broadcaster reporter, Sonny Liwanag. Benjo volunteers and succeeds in silencing Sonny before the truth about the Governor is fully exposed. By serving his master well, Benjo regains the Governor's trust. Now, he is in the perfect position to execute his plan to bring the Governor down.

One by one, Benjo's offensive against the Governor unfolds. The Governor begins to lose grip on his financial benefactors, political backers and even the affection of the women in his life. Benjo's plan pushes the Governor to the brink of backing down from the elections but memories of his climb to power with Cito, sways the Governor's decision to fight on. With his failure and at Leon's gunpoint, Benjo has to resort to a desperate move to bring down the Governor and save his family.

Benjo has only three days to find the corpse of Attorney Joselito Fernando, the first kill of the Governor and Cito during their rise to power. But unknown to Benjo, the noose around his neck is getting tighter as the Governor and Attorney Alex suspects a mole among their ranks

Benjo's search for evidence against the Governor is stifled when he is called in by Attorney Alex to do a loyalty check on the 12 Mayors of Magdiwang. During which Benjo uncovers information pointing him to the location of Joselito Fernando's corpse. Benjo races to the site. In doing so, he has confirmed Attorney Alex's suspicion that he is the traitor among them. The Governor orders the capture of Benjo.

Finally, Benjo digs up Joselito Fernando's briefcase which contains enough evidence to bury the Governor for murder but he is captured by the Governor's men. A bloody mess, Benjo finds himself face to face with the Governor who is on the verge of killing him. Benjo resorts to the last card up his sleeve, to pin his treachery on Tres, the Governor's youngest girlfriend.
