Introduced in Pitik Bulag is the sexy starlet Paloma, best known for the April 2009 scorching cover of FHM Philippines. The film will also mark the comeback of Victor Neri and the first starring role of kapuso star Marco Alcaraz.
The movie’s storyline revolves around Angelo, a downtrodden movie stuntman (played by Marco Alcaraz) who accidentally stumbles upon a bagful of millions taken from a bank heist.

Overwhelmed by his sudden stroke of good luck, Angelo shares his story to his wife (Paloma), who convinces him to give part of the loot to the families of the three guards who were killed in the robbery. But their benevolent act doesn’t come easy as they try to dodge the robbers (led by Victor Neri) who are hot on their trail. Suddenly, the action star wannabe finds himself in a real-life movie where he fights for his life and the lives of his loved ones.
