Freddy, a young Internet scammer with dreams of an artistic career, is striking out in the world of email fraud. Most of his potential victims turn out to be pranksters. Under pressure from his thuggish boss to score, Freddy takes increasing risks and must finally decide what kind of man he will be. Meanwhile, as they concoct ever more humiliating surprises for Freddy, his tormenters begin to feel a bond with each other -- but if they met in the flesh, could they stand each other? or can they only be friends in Scamoramaland?

Based on Benjamin Pimentel's novel of the same name, Rody Vera's play tackles the musings of Filipino war veterans who live far from home as exiles in San Francisco. They spend their time in a cable car station located in Powell Street, with most of them just waiting for the benefits promised to them and that "long-distance call from heaven." As they wait, they reminisce about their days at war, the women they loved, and family members that they left behind in the Philippines. They all share a common desire: the chance for their body to be buried in their homeland.
