In the wake of Super Typhoon Yolanda, the once vibrant coastal barangay of Cogon is left as a shattered ghost town. Among the ruins, Maria and her family struggle to rebuild their lives while grappling with profound loss, fear, and uncertainty. As Christmas approaches, their world is still cloaked in darkness—both literal and emotional—but a fragile handmade parol and the flicker of a lone candle become symbols of hope.

Through Maria's heartfelt memories, Finding Light in Darkness is a poignant tale of resilience and gratitude. It captures the quiet strength of a family that chooses to find light amidst despair and a community that clings to the unbreakable bonds of faith and humanity.
