A religious cross-cultural conspiracy that shakes the foundations of faith


When an explosion occurs in front of Dr. Chester Limhuatco's condominium, events unfold leading to his discovery of Emily, the "white lady" he has been having visions of. To discover her identity, he enlists the help of former classmate Jefferson Po, a government agent Emily works closely with. Together, Chester ad Jefferson pursue the mystery surrounding Emily and her involvement with Tata Peping, a modern day "Itim an Nazareno" or Black Christ.


Set in the midst of Quiapo, the heart of the frenzied devotion and veneration of the statue of the Black Nazarene, Whilte Lady, Black Christ is a high-stakes pursuit of the truth behind a strange brotherhood and the rituals surrounding blind devotion and the search for salvation as told by a masterful storyteller.
