This low-budget thriller takes place in the crowded streets of Manila, where a young Filipino-American arrives on a flight from San Diego to visit his family, and suddenly finds himself in a web of terror.

The caller on a cell phone slipped into his belongings demands that Adam (Ian Gamazon) follow a series of instructions that send him through rundown neighborhoods and to a bank, where he will withdraw money. If not, those close to him are in peril.

It becomes clear the caller is a terrorist seeking Adam's reluctant assistance. Along the way, Adam and the no-nonsense caller exchange angry words concerning terrorism and faith.

"Cavite" is an edgy thriller, no-nonsense and harrowing, that grips as its scary plot unfolds.
