Description

A journey to self-discovery and newfound love, set against the backdrop of the Philippines' most captivating waterfalls.

Sarah Silvestre has always been the dependable one. That's why everyone calls her Steady Sarah. She's responsible, mature, organised, and has her life all planned out. Until one day, everything turns upside down—first, her longtime boyfriend, Pete, breaks up with her; then, she loses her job in a corporate downsize.

What's a girl to do? Pack her bags, of course. Sarah is on a quest for seven waterfalls all over the country, from Tanay, Rizal all the way to Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. Her family and her best friends, Anya and Benito, all think she's crazy. But for once in her life, she's excited to be the one running away.

Benito, in particular, insists on going with her. Will this be the adventure of her life? Or is she just chasing a disaster waiting to happen?
