Plot
Tonyo Dela Cruz (Coco Martin) is a responsible father who hunts monitor lizards for a living. One night, he was out hunting when he saw a band of men sexually assaulting a woman. He tries his best to save the woman, and the woman manages to escape but Tonyo gets stabbed to death by the assailants. They then dispose of Tonyo's river, thinking he was already dead. Just then, a fairy appeared and granted a privilege to Tonyo that changed his life forever - the fairy chose him to take possession of the Agimat (amulet). The trinket took the form of a belt buckle that gives him the abilities and instincts of a monitor lizard (bayawak), transforming his into a reptilian's and granting him superhuman abilities. He then takes revenge on the men by slaughtering them one-by-one.
Tonyo's wife Maring was assaulted by the same syndicate Tonyo encountered in the forest, she was sexually assaulted by the leader and her skull accidentally crushed. Tonyo, after finding out about this, gets enraged and tries his best to track down the syndicate responsible for his wife's death.
