Premise
Anna Manalastas (Coney Reyes) is the dictator of a toy company that she built. In the past, she was a smart and talented little girl who never saw her mother. Her father mistreats and threatens her whenever she tries to impress him, although the actions of her father were out of discipline. She got pregnant later in her life, and for this her father got very mad. At her father's deathbed, she was taught how humans can never be capable of goodness.
After giving birth, Anna gave her daughter away since she did not think she could adequately raise the child and provide proper love and support for her. She then grows up to be mean, selfish, obnoxious and greedy due to her troubled past. Later on she was killed in a car explosion, an orchestrated "accident" which was planned by her most trusted employee's (Bobby) wife, Miranda. As she was about to be condemned to hell, Tagabantay, the gatekeeper of heaven, gives her a second chance after bargaining. She gets a chance to live again and make amends with those whom she wronged while still alive, but as a child, and for only 100 days.
In her quest for redemption, she'll be helped by people she thought were insignificant, and eventually run into her own daughter who will prove crucial to her own mission. Little did she know also that aside from changing for the greater good, Anna was also sent back to life in the last days of her moment, to also find love and peace that was never given to her on her early days, including to discover who is her real daughter.
The protagonist. Anna is the evil and ruthless former owner of the Toy Company. After her death, Tagabantay tells her that she cannot enter heaven because of all the bad things she did in her life.

Once she is back on Earth, she meets Kevin, a young boy who has a sister, Sophia who later reveals to be her daughter. With the help of Sophia Delgado and her family, she must find all the people she hurt and correct what she has done in her past life.
