The action-packed BuyBust follows the story of Nina Manigan (Anne Curtis), who tries to escape a drug-raid-gone-wrong in the slums of Manila.

In On the Job, dirty and corrupt politicians pay convicts to act as hitmen. The crime thriller stars Gerald Anderson, Joel Torre, Piolo Pascual, and Joey Marquez.
