The story follows Teresa "Tere" Madlangsakay (Pokwang), a single mother who works in a call center to provide for her son, Otap (Jhiz Deocareza). Otap dreams of becoming a lawyer, and Tere does everything in her power to support his ambition.
As a call center agent, Tere takes on the persona of Shawie, a feisty and confident customer service representative who can handle any situation thrown her way. She is known among her colleagues for her quick wit and her ability to charm even the most irate customers.
However, Tere's world is turned upside down when her call center announces a contest that would send three agents to Manila to meet the company's CEO, Bernie Liwanag (Enchong Dee). The agents who win the contest would be given the chance to make a presentation to Bernie about how to improve the call center's performance.
Tere sees this as her chance to finally make a better life for her and Otap, and she throws herself into the competition with everything she's got. She's aided by her best friend, Kristine (Jessy Mendiola), who works at the call center's training department.
As Tere competes in the contest, she faces off against her toughest competition yet, as well as a host of other challenges. She must navigate office politics, deal with uncooperative teammates, and find a way to balance her work and home life. Through it all, she remains determined and optimistic, drawing inspiration from Otap's unwavering belief in her.
