The morning of February 22, 1986 - Manila, Philippines. Daniel Ramos has everything a young man in the Philippines could dream of: a good job, a supportive and well-respected family, and a loving soon-to-be fiancé, and plans to move to the United States. By the afternoon, everything will have fallen apart with the rise of the People Power Revolution. In the wake of this change, a reluctant Daniel is asked to leave everything and travel to the United States to support his family. Will he leave everything behind? The House In Quezon City follows a family caught in the midst of a peaceful revolution in Southeast Asia and the consequences everyday families face during transitions of power.
