Produced by JRB Creative Production, the show features Gerald as one the directors, alongside FM Reyes, Bjoy Balagtas and Avel Sunpongco. Gerald is also the lead actor, portraying Samuel Trinidad, a bank manager, in the series that tackles investment scams.

"My first scene was actually with JC (de Vera) and LA (Santos). When they entered the building, that was the first scene I ever directed," Gerald shared at a presscon. "And thank you also to them because that's one for the books."

He also thanked the “amazing” producers, cameramen and the entire production team for helping him out, stressing, “I couldn't have done it without them.”

The Kapamilya actor’s foray into directing was just a “spur of the moment.” As he recalled, “JRB (Julie Anne R. Benitez) and I and the creative team were just talking. They presented to me one versus 100 scenes para malagay si Samuel in this one particular situation. And then I was also giving my inputs na pwede ganito, pwede ganyan. And that’s the beauty of this team, they are very collaborative. It’s really team work.
