On the eve of the Ms. Universe Pageant – the boxing main event for all gays in the Philippines, three friends decide to throw a SLUMBER PARTY as part of their yearly vigil to support our representative. Mending a broken heart, Elle and Jhana consoles their friend, Phillippe, as his romance with his recent guy was tragically and abruptly nipped in the bud. However, the supposedly fun spectacle for the three was cut-short when, Jonel, a young frat boy burgled the three lovely ladies’ castle. Afraid and petrified, they attacked the frat boy who became unconscious. This gave the three a time to marvel at the young frat boy’s enigmatic boyish looks and amusing hot body.
