She has a younger brother named Brian. Jodi provides for her family. She pays all the bills, including Alex's tuition fees. Jodi's dream is to find a man who will whisk her away from her obligations to her family. Jodi, being the CEO's Executive Assistant, is tasked to organize the CEO's upcoming 50th birthday. OneFriday evening, Jodi is hard at work on her computer. On her computer, a long-time chat mate asks her if they could finally meet up for dinner. Tired and lonely, Jodi obliges to meet this mystery man. Jodi and her chat mate meet up in a restaurant. His name is Dom. The sparks fly between them. Dom invites Jodi to his apartment and Jodi obliges. While at Dom's apartment, Jodi senses that something is not right with Dom. Jodi wakes up with a bomb strapped to her torso. Dom tells her that she should immediately go to her office, and when the time for the press conference comes, she should make sure everyone who attends die. Or else, Dom will do her brother harm. Jodi heads to her office and uses her wits in playing the terrorist's wicked game. Dom communicates with Jodi via a headset, and tells her the rules of the game along the way. With the help of a hacker office mate, Raffy, she devises a plan to avert Dom's plans. Meanwhile, Lola Vi, a retired lady cop is on the last day of her job. She is discharged from the police force due to her age and apparent respiratory problems. As she settles back into her lonely apartment, she sees a boy being abducted by her neighbor next door. Intrigued, she dives head-on into an investigation all her own to rescue the boy from Dom. The plot thickens. In the end, we discover that Dom used to be an employee of the pharmaceutical company. Years ago, he had blown the whistle on the company upon discovering an underground facility that tests drugs on street urchins. He survived a murder attempt orchestrated by the CEO, and swore vengeance upon the company thereafter. Jodi and Raffy diffuses the bomb. The CEO takes Jodi hostage and takes her into an elevator where Dom is waiting. The two men fight each other to the death, leaving the CEO in a puddle of blood. When the pandemonium subsides, Dom is nowhere to be found by the police.
