Pamahiin is a story about how superstitious beliefs affect peoples lives, especially non-believers. It revolves around three childhood friends Noah, Becca and Damian and the mystery that connects and enfolds them. Noah returns to the Philippines with his girlfriend Eileen after 15 years when his best friend Damian commits suicide. Knowing how strong Damian has always been, Noah is intrigued why he took his own life. He is also bothered and haunted by a distant childhood memory concerning his other best friend Becca.
Becca and her mother are the town outcasts, due to her mother's penchant for the supernatural. They were pushed to move out of the town, never to be seen again by the people of Balong Bato. Because Noah was raised in the States, his modern ways keep him from believing in superstitions, much to the distress of his Tita Amelia whose life is governed by her superstitious beliefs.
Damians death starts a series of peculiar and unexplained deaths and eerie haunting, all revolving around different superstitions. Eileen, who is in tune with her third eye, is at the forefront of all these haunting. She is followed by the ghost of a little girl named Lota, who died a mysterious and gruesome death.
Not wanting to believe and accept the fact that superstitions are real, Noah tries to give a practical explanation for everything, straining his relationship with Eileen. The fact that Becca returns and professes her love for him doesnt help in easing the tension between them. Noah continues refusing to believe until he experiences the haunting himself.
