In the town of Sta. Maria, the poor couple Marcelo and Linda once wished to the Virgin Mary to fulfill their dream of having a child. After a couple of years, they miraculously find a child: a little angel they believed was heaven-sent. They named her Anghelita (Krystal Reyes). But the baby was sickly, and one day her sickness brought her to the point of near death. Anghelita never made it to the hospital to have her sickness cured. But instead of dying, the baby became blind instead.

Meanwhile, the town of Sta. Maria was plagued by bad luck: suddenly there were no more crops to harvest; famine ensued after a long, arduous storm -- and every single person in town attributed this bad luck to the mysterious loss of the Virgin Mary’s crown. Everyone in town thought that keeping the baby Anghelita would bring more bad luck to the town. And so they abandoned the baby Anghelita. She fell into the hands of the local outcast, the mysterious and elusive Magdalena, considered a witch by the locals.

Raised by Magdalena, Anghelita became a servant to the mean-spirited woman. And if that was not enough, she was still seen as a curse by the other locals. Mistreated and ostracized, Anghelita longed for her mother and vowed to find her someday. Anghelita’s only friend was a hunchback named Gabriel, the local bell-ringer who lived in the church tower. Like Anghelita, he was looking for his biological parents.

Both outcasts, they found solace in each other amidst all the hatred hurled at them by the locals. Things seemed hopeless for Angelita until the Virgin Mary starts communicating with her in her dreams. And in a moment of life and death, Mother Mary gives Anghelita her eyes so that she can finally see and help the people of Sta. Maria.

Aside from the gift of sight, Mama Mary had also bestowed upon Anghelita different abilities that will lead her to happy, scary, terrifying, and heartwarming adventures that will bring her closer to the person to whom she rightfully belongs -- her birth mother.
