Fallen's Storyline
Fallen revolves around a girl, Amy Soriano, who is basically rejected for being who she is and the only person who really accepts her is her best friend John Lee.

When John mysteriously dies at a hospital however, Amy becomes paranoid and starts to think that nobody will accept her anymore. Since John was dead there'd be no one else who'll understand her. Not even her mother understands what Amy is going through.

Amy seeks help, and she decides that best way to do that is to talk to John's mother. Upon seeing her, Amy sees John's mother has become a babbling, half-mad mess. Still, she gained enough sense to tell Amy what was happening.

Mrs. Lee believes that John had fallen victim to an ages-old curse that affects the members of the Lee family who are godparents to children born between May 10 and July 24. Vengeful spirits are said to take lives of the godparents of babies baptized between those days. John was a godfather to his cousin's baby, baptized May 12, and that is why he died--because of the curse.

Amy is in such a paranoid state that she is willing to believe everything. She felt as if it were also her duty to salvage the members of the Lee family who'd fall victim to the curse. She does that by traveling to John's home city of Iloilo, and starts from there...

The Curse
The curse started in the 80's, when the Lee family was at its monetary peak. They were one of the richest families around, and one specific man took pride in that.

His name was José de Jesus Lee, or as people called him, Master Joe. José was married to a soft-spoken woman, Leanna Pagbutihan-Lee, whom he abused regularly. She was forced to do all of his work for him; she cooked and cleaned, while he beat and barked. One day he realized that his wife was becoming much too fragile to do work anymore, so he hired two people to do his work.

They were Lester and Anna delas Alas, a married couple from somewhere in the mountainous areas. José found himself more and more attracted to Anna each day, and started an affair with her. But when Lester was around doing work, he caught José and his wife in bed, cavorting madly. He did not want Leanna to find out, so he killed Lester and Anna and threw their bodies into a nearby lake. José took Leanna and fled to Manila, leaving Iloilo behind.

Lester and Anna were not happy.

They manifested into angry troubled apparitions and haunted José and Leanna afterward. José became so insane that he took Leanna and dove off a cliff, killing both of them.

Still, the spirits were not pleased. They started haunting later generations, and José's cousins and distant siblings. They haunted the godparents of babies that were baptized from May 10 to June 24--the length of their imployment.

To this day, they haunt the Lee family to no end, their revenge insatiable. They never will forget what José did to them, so they will make him and his family pay.

Forever.
