Be careful of what grows here…
Maria's strongest memory of Talalora is crying as her mother sent her away. But when the sudden news of her death leaves Maria in shock, she returns to the remote Filipino town she once called home. She’ll close old wounds for good and claim an inheritance her mother left behind.
But Talalora isn't what Maria remembers. Once lush fields are barren; the flowers are withered. The townspeople are devoted to a lone priest, Father Benito, who declares her mother’s inheritance must be earned. To stake her claim, Maria must brave a series of trials pitting her against relatives she's never known.
Each trial is crueler than the last as Talalora's plants grow faster and stranger. Maria’s progress brings memories she was never supposed to reclaim: memories of her mother and tender moments with a beautiful girl, now a woman who insists her mother's death was planned.
And she remembers the Diwata, a spirit who's ensured Talalora's fertile land for decades. Now she wanders Talalora at night, leaving flowers and ruin in her wake. Maria's fight for her inheritance becomes a search for the truth of Talalora, her mother, and a curse that binds them all together. What's been buried must bloom.
