She notices Evart Mendoza (Emil Sandoval) who leaves a mysterious package on his seat. Failing to return it to the man, she proceeds to the local bakery to buy bread and shows the package to Aling Biring; the owner of the local bakery. Aling Biring tells Joy that it is a Bagua and is believed to be lucky by the Chinese. Joy arrives home and is ignored by her drunken husband, Inton (Jay Manalo). She then is visited by Mang Nestor (Leo Gamboa); her own tricycle driver who checks himself at the hanged Bagua thinking it as an ordinary mirror and returns the groceries Joy left. Joy then shows it to her friends; Alice (Lotlot De Leon) and Thelma (Ilonah Jean) and then experiences good luck with her winning almost everything from raffles to job promotions. She later finds out the death of Aling Biring who haunted Joy, Aling Biring is then known to die of Leptospirosis. She, Alice and Thelma check Aling Biring's birth date and discovers she was born under the year of the rat, Leptospirosis is caused by contact with a rat's urine or feces. They also learn that Evart Mendoza (who left the Bagua in the bus), was born in the year of the rabbit and was killed by a Rabbit Liner bus. She then finds out the death of Mang Nestor as well as death of two bodyguards but before that she got lucky; Joy accepted an inheritance. She visits a Chinese master, Hsui Liao (Joonee Gamboa) and he tells them about the legend of Lotus Lady, he then advices Joy to reject the offers of good luck so that it wouldn't bring bad luck amongst her friends and people close to her. Alice then is killed by a drunken but tempered man by pushing her off out of the window and falling on bottles of Red Horse (Alice was born in the year of the Horse). All the ghosts from Aling Biring to Alice to Evart as well as Lotus Lady now haunt Joy's home and her families. Joy asks Thelma to go and take her children. Joy's husband then is killed by Louie (Nonie Buencamino) after trying to escape with his other woman who was the wife of the killer. Joy then again gets lucky by being saved from death as Louie killed himself instead of killing Joy. Thelma and Joy's children then die after a fatal accident, they died by crashing in front of a truck full of cows and chicken (Joy's children and Thelma were born under the year of the Ox and Rooster). Joy then arrives at her home being offered another offer by a lawyer she then rejects it and destroys the bagua in the process, she finds out that Thelma and her children survived the fatal accident but she was wrong. She then finds out that they are dead after her husband joins the pair, leaving Joy's fate unknown. The movie ends with a new family moving in the subdivision, with twin girls finding the bagua (most likely magically fix by the Lotus Lady or the one Joy destroyed was a replica) and showing it to their parents (Jenine Desiderio and Froilan Sales), while the Lotus Lady is watching them in the window.
