The latest ABS-CBN drama series "Saving Grace" is not only special for Julia Montes because it is her teleserye comeback, but also because of the late Dreamscape Entertainment head Deo Endrinal.

The heart-wrenching series premieres on Prime Video beginning Nov. 28, today, with two new episodes dropping every Thursday. It is an adaptation of Nippon TV's drama "Mother," produced by Dreamscape Entertainment and is directed by FM Reyes and Dolly Dulu.

According to the synopsis, the series delves into the theme of a mother's unconditional love, while shedding light on the realities of child abuse and domestic violence.

Julia portrays the gripping character of Anna, a teacher struggling to find a purpose in life until she answers the call of help of her abused student, Grace, played by promising child star Zia Grace. But in a desperate attempt to save her student from the harsh abuse of her neglectful mother, Anna kidnaps Grace, which then stirs a nationwide manhunt against her.
